Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Listen to HD radio with a $30 RTL SDR dongle
There's an issue open for this: https://github.com/gqrx-sdr/gqrx/issues/1104
I could really use some help from a software build expert. Gqrx and all its dependencies would need to be built in CI with Apple silicon support, and I don't know how to do that.

WebSDR – internet connected Software-Defined Radios
If you don't need the web interface and your usual desktop SDR software supports rtl-sdr tcp mode, you can easily set up a small board that calls rtl-sdr with the appropriate parameters so that it will wait for a remote connection from the above software, not unlike what happens with WebSDR, but you would be using your usual desktop SDR application which would be native and much more snappy than a web browser. Here's an example using gqrx.

SDR and software for Mac
GQRX works pretty well for me. There is also CubicSDR and SDRAngel afaik - you might just want to play around with them and see which you are most comfortable with.

Just got an RTL-SDR, what kind of fun stuff can I do with it?
SSB/CW (also (W/N)FM/AM/Raw) using GQRX

what kind of device could I listen to 900mhz radiowave transmissions? I want them very specific like 943.147mhz
For most signals (including analog AM and FM modes) you can use a laptop with an RTL-SDR USB dongle (fairly cheap), or another SDR, and a reasonably tuned antenna. Various RTL-SDR models can tune from around 500 kHz up to 1.75 GHz with 3 mhz of bandwdith, and works with free software like SDR# for Windows and GQRX for Linux. It works with lots of other software, too, for ham modes, digital modes, etc.

Crossfire low range?? RX Loss & RSSI DBM?? Beeps??
Some of the Crossfire modules have a rudimentary spectrum analyzer function on them that might help you identify if there are other devices operating in the 900MHz band around that area, but I'm not sure the nano TX is one of them. I have a couple RTL-SDR dongles or equivalent I'd use with GQRX as a cheap spectrum analyzer if possible.

Good old GQRX for me https://gqrx.dk/

Looking for a good AM/FM Radio sollution
There is loads of software that will work such as SDR++, GQRX, CubicSDR, and SDRangel just to name a few. For HD radio reception, there is nrsc5. Nrsc5 only works with an rtl-sdr, so you will need one if you want to receive HD radio.

Using SDR to make .CSV files for Wireless Workbench
https://github.com/AD-Vega/rtl-power-fftw can help. This can be easily piped for various outputs and works with GNUPlot off the bat. Use this on an Android based SDR for foxhunting and Signal seeking.

how can I find other signals to listen to?
I like to use rrl_power_fftw

Frequency hopping driveway sensor?
You could use rtl_power_fftw to better record the wider band over a time period. This is similar to rtl_power from librtlsdr, but is more efficient and can dwell for as little as 100ms on any 2.4MHz window (24MHz done in 1 second, f.e.). You can then plot this data through GNUPlot to get visual representations.
- Any fun ideas for introducing SDR to my 81 year old dad?

Laptops with lowest RFI?
I have a rooted Android with an RTL-SDR attached, which I'd take with me if buying a new laptop. I'd sit near the laptop's on display with a stubby duck in the SDR and use rtl-power-fftw to rapid scan 27-1724MHz (fastest is 100ms dwell at 2.4MSps). Takes a minute or two and can be fed into GNUPlot to give you a pretty graph of signals seen. Do it at a low gain and any spikes you see are likely from those sources.

Passive signal collection?
Look into rtl_power_fftw. It can be run for hours on any host (including a Raspberry Pi) and the spectrum results examined later.

Rtl_power scanner logic
rtl_power_fftw is likely more well suited. It's multithreaded, so can sample IQ and process the data as it samples. It's also faster and uses libfftw for processing (faster and more accurate). Outputs more friendly, too. I use this in part with a signal heatmap project; https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/ifer8j/progress_on_the_android_sdr_linuxdeploy_rtl_power/
