Experiment. Since I don't know your specific circumstances I cannot offer any suggestions other than that most suggestions you find on the web are as far out as the Moon.

What are your specific circumstances for starters.

NB: A low loss feed from your antenna to the dongle may do more for you than trying to tweak the last bit of performance out of the RTL dongle.

Hello Chris .

/In this case the tool of SDR# is useful for this purpose , while I don't know if for all kind of modulations , especially for FM , like in other discussions .
Please consider to install the plug I suggested you that look to give  you a continuous value of quality of what you are demodulating inside the RF BW window on a virtual analog meter representation .
Have fun with you hobby !
