Radically different noise levels of different software and other noise reductions
Download the https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog or https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr version instead. Even try both, since there may be differences.
-
rtl_tcp for HF frequencies?
Give https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr a try?

Running rtl_power?
I should have mentioned, I'm using this fork of the librtlsdr library, which contains a slightly different version of rtl_power with some extra features, and apparently the "-D" option is treated differently in the version I'm using. The forked version allows you to set a specific branch using the "-D" option, as described below:
-
RTL SDR linux driver with full control.
There are a few variations of librtlsdr, f.e. this fork; https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr which adds features that aren't available in the version used in most Linux distributions. This adds some extra features and output that are really useful (most notably, regular output of max, min, mean power levels and noise floor). It also has some extra functions to fine tune signals.
-
Listen to DMR for free
Linux, librtlsdr and this port of DSD. FWIW, this port of DSD is newer and also has a Windows binary.
-
WBFM and nrsc5 using lightweight tools
Next I moved onto try feeding the output of rtl_sdr (from https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr) to nrsc5 and that worked well!

How to receive and record fm radio in stereo on the command line
You have an older librtlsdr; I'm using the GitHub version, which adds extra features; https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr

'rtlsdr_set_bias_tee' not found
Thank you for your reply, I have tried it with the 'static' from the official GitHub https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr/releases , but the error remains? Do you mean an even newer version?
- command line tool to search for local FM stations?

would I get worse performance by buying this nooelec clone instead of the real thing? the real thing is 10 bucks pricier and it also comes with a remote which i don't see myself using. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/RTL-SDR-Receiver-Antenna-RTL2832U-Software-blue/dp/B094ZJ3VVN/
github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr may be worthy to check out.

- [r/UFOs] TIL you can download live images from satellites passing overhead. For any of you so inclined.
- So i bought the rtlsdr.com dongle but what is the practical use of it?

Take a look at the RTL-SDR, I have a Blog v3 and it's great.

NXP LA9310: A new platform for SDR and the 10-year-old AD9361 RF Transceiver
This site has some great examples on what various inexpensive SDR hardware can be used for: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/. Use cases range from receiving weather satellite imagery, to reverse engineering radio protocols (e.g. for remote door openers). Several years ago I used an inexpensive DVB USB dongle containing the RTL2832U chip (which enables SDR), to sniff 2G/GSM broadcast packets.
