But another thing is that rtl_fm just won't work until the signal is strong enough. With my dongle I saw a decent FM out of the box on the waterfall display, but rtl_fm just would not grab: outputted noise and small fragments of corrupt sound that resembled the transmissions. Then, I replaced the stock antenna and its long cable with a basic monopole designed for 1GHz -- way outside of FM radio band! But immediately rtl_fm started working. Apparently the cable attenuation was too bad. Final command line was this: rtl_fm -l 0 -f 99.5e6 -N -s 170e3 -o 4 -A -r 24e3 - | \ aplay -r 24k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 1 -- Pete
