I unfortunately don't have one of the rtl-sdr.com dongles (wish I did) but the spec says there's a 2 PPM initial error plus 1 PPM temperature drift, which is fairly reasonable for a cheap TCXO. My current dongle is a cheap one from AliExpress with slightly over 100 PPM of offset, and finding a calibration procedure that actually worked was... interesting.
