Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM
rtl_power: invalid option -- 'r'
rtl_power, a simple FFT logger for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

Use:    rtl_power -f freq_range [-options] [filename]
        -f lower:upper:bin_size [Hz]
         (bin size is a maximum, smaller more convenient bins
          will be used.  valid range 1Hz - 2.8MHz)
        [-i integration_interval (default: 10 seconds)]
         (buggy if a full sweep takes longer than the interval)
        [-1 enables single-shot mode (default: off)]
        [-e exit_timer (default: off/0)]
        [-d device_index or serial (default: 0)]
        [-g tuner_gain (default: automatic)]
        [-p ppm_error (default: 0)]
        [-T enable bias-T on GPIO PIN 0 (works for rtl-sdr.com v3 dongles)]
        filename (a '-' dumps samples to stdout)
         (omitting the filename also uses stdout)

Experimental options:
        [-w window (default: rectangle)]
         (hamming, blackman, blackman-harris, hann-poisson, bartlett, youssef)
        [-c crop_percent (default: 0%, recommended: 20%-50%)]
         (discards data at the edges, 100% discards everything)
         (has no effect for bins larger than 1MHz)
        [-F fir_size (default: disabled)]
         (enables low-leakage downsample filter,
          fir_size can be 0 or 9.  0 has bad roll off,
          try with '-c 50%')
        [-P enables peak hold (default: off)]
        [-D enable direct sampling (default: off)]
        [-O enable offset tuning (default: off)]

CSV FFT output columns:
        date, time, Hz low, Hz high, Hz step, samples, dbm, dbm, ...

Examples:
        rtl_power -f 88M:108M:125k fm_stations.csv
         (creates 160 bins across the FM band,
          individual stations should be visible)
        rtl_power -f 100M:1G:1M -i 5m -1 survey.csv
         (a five minute low res scan of nearly everything)
        rtl_power -f ... -i 15m -1 log.csv
         (integrate for 15 minutes and exit afterwards)
        rtl_power -f ... -e 1h | gzip > log.csv.gz
         (collect data for one hour and compress it on the fly)
