BTW I verified setup with XES who says...

"Well, it's very easy... Unpack all in /opt/ , add the gnuradio and rtl_sdr libs folder in /etc/ld.so.conf or symlink them into /usr/lib. ...Done and ready to go! "

Power consumption comparison of different rtl2832 DVB-T keys:

...it seems that the E4000 is the best choice when used with the N900

Sure!! Outside there are many things you can decode with a rtl2832 key!
For example, weather stations, door remotes, wireless alarms...

Look here:

Hell yeah! Thank you very much.

Now, you may consider adding "[Annoucement]" to thread title.Either way, I hope it gains attention that it deserves.

Xes, I finally fought with apt and have it all installed, now I am getting aplay errors of all things. Since I have the deb installed and it is in /usr/bin I edited the line from the optified example on your first post.
Code:
rtl_fm -f 430175000 -N -r 11000 - | aplay -r 11k -f S
16_LE -t raw -c 1
Failed to stat runtime directory /home/user/.pulse/8ec05df9ed93e7200d2004d40053170b:runtime: Invalid argument
rtl_fm: invalid option -- N
rtl_fm, a simple narrow band FM demodulator for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

Use:	rtl_fm -f freq [-options] [filename]
	-f frequency_to_tune_to [Hz]
	    use multiple -f for scanning (requires squelch)
	    ranges supported, -f 118M:137M:25k
	[-M modulation (default: fm)]
	    fm, wbfm, raw, am, usb, lsb
	    wbfm == -M fm -s 170k -o 4 -A fast -r 32k -l 0 -E deemp
	    raw mode outputs 2x16 bit IQ pairs
	[-s sample_rate (default: 24k)]
	[-d device_index (default: 0)]
	[-g tuner_gain (default: automatic)]
	[-l squelch_level (default: 0/off)]
	[-p ppm_error (default: 0)]
	[-E enable_option (default: none)]
	    use multiple -E to enable multiple options
	    edge:   enable lower edge tuning
	    dc:     enable dc blocking filter
	    deemp:  enable de-emphasis filter
	    direct: enable direct sampling
	    offset: enable offset tuning
	filename ('-' means stdout)
	    omitting the filename also uses stdout

Experimental options:
	[-r resample_rate (default: none / same as -s)]
	[-t squelch_delay (default: 10)]
	    +values will mute/scan, -values will exit
	[-F fir_size (default: off)]
	    enables low-leakage downsample filter
	    size can be 0 or 9.  0 has bad roll off
	[-A std/fast/lut choose atan math (default: std)]

Produces signed 16 bit ints, use Sox or aplay to hear them.
	rtl_fm ... | play -t raw -r 24k -es -b 16 -c 1 -V1 -
	           | aplay -r 24k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 1
	  -M wbfm  | play -r 32k ... 
	  -s 22050 | multimon -t raw /dev/stdin

aplay: playback:2297: read error
Any chance you will be packaging gqrx?
I wish I had a handle on the technical side of Linux like I do with analog components; I wouldn't ever bother you again. I think I need to go make a yaggi and once I figure this out see if I can pull down some weather satellite feeds.

Tried again like this
Code:
rtl_fm -f 430175000 -N -r 11000 - | lame -r -s 11000 -m m -b 64 - a.mp3
Looks like everything was fine on the lame side but I got a segmentation fault.
in lsmod I have rtc_core rtc_twl4030 loaded
I am not sure how to get rtl_fm to give a more verbose fail.

Off topic but I was surfing around in the repos and saw you have uploaded hamlib, what other things for hams do you have on the repos, for seme reason I had to hand load things like libusb1, not searchable via my app manager.

@biketool
please check again using new syntax "-M fm" instead "-N".
rtl-sdr version available in extras-testing uses new syntax (as you can see from your error message)

First post updated.

Tried your above, even
Code:
rtl_fm -f 430175000
causes a segmentation fault...


Oh S#!t ran as root and......
well not quite but closer; rtl_fm is going though
Code:
~/MyDocs $ sudo rtl_fm -f 430175000 -M -r 11000 - | apla
y -r 11k -f S16_LE -t raw -c 1

Tuned to 430427000 Hz.

Good news its that a double scud battery seems to support enough amps for this USB dongle.
