NAME

       radio - console radio application

SYNOPSIS

       radio [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       radio is a interactive, ncurses-bases console radio application.

OPTIONS

       -h     print a short help text.

       -d     enable debug output.

       -q     quit  after  processing  the  cmd line options, don't enter interactive ncurses mode.  Only useful
              together with other options for obvious reasons ...

       -m     mute radio.

       -f freq
              tune the specified radio frequency (and unmute the radio).

       -c dev specify radio device (default is /dev/radio0).

       -s     Do a scan for radio stations.

       -S     Same as above + write a radio.fmmap with the signal for every frequency.  You can get a graph  for
              it with gnuplot (plot "radio.fmmap" w lin).

       -i     Scan, write a initial ~/.radio file to stdout and quit.  So you can create a config file where you
              only have to fill in the correct station names later this way: "radio -i > ~/.radio".   See  below
              for the config file syntax.

CONFIGURATION

       radio  picks  up  station  names and present stations from a config file.  It can parse kradio (KDE radio
       app)   config   files,   therefore   it   first   tries   the   usual   KDE   config    file    location:
       ~/.kde/share/config/kradiorc.  Failing  that,  radio  tries ~/.radio (which makes things a bit easier for
       people who don't use kradio).

       The format looks like this:

       # KDE Config File
       [Buttons]
       1=95800000
       2=91400000
       [Stations]
       100600000=Hundert,6
       95800000=Radio eins
       102600000=Fritz
       94300000=r.s.2
       91400000=Berliner Rundfunk

       The [Buttons] section can have up to eight entries.  That are the present stations, they  get  mapped  to
       F1-F8.   The  [Stations] section maps frequencies to station names.  The frequencies in both sections are
       specified in Hz.

KEYS

       X         exit
       ESC,Q,E      mute and exit.
       up/down      inc/dec frequency
       pgup/pgdown  next/previous station.  This one uses the
                    stations from the config file by default.
                    When started with the -s option these keys
                    will cycle througth the stations found during
                    the scan.
       F1-F8, 1-8   preset buttons.
       Ctrl+L       redraw screen.
