NAME

6       radio - console radio application
7

SYNOPSIS

9       radio [ options ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       radio is a interactive, ncurses-bases console radio application.
13

OPTIONS

15       -h     print a short help text.
16
17       -d     enable debug output.
18
19       -q     quit after processing the cmd line options, don't enter interac‐
20              tive ncurses mode.  Only useful together with other options  for
21              obvious reasons ...
22
23       -m     mute radio.
24
25       -f freq
26              tune the specified radio frequency (and unmute the radio).
27
28       -c dev specify radio device (default is /dev/radio0).
29
30       -s     Do a scan for radio stations.
31
32       -S     Same  as  above  + write a radio.fmmap with the signal for every
33              frequency.  You can get  a  graph  for  it  with  gnuplot  (plot
34              "radio.fmmap" w lin).
35
36       -i     Scan,  write a initial ~/.radio file to stdout and quit.  So you
37              can create a config file where you only have to fill in the cor‐
38              rect  station  names later this way: "radio -i > ~/.radio".  See
39              below for the config file syntax.
40

CONFIGURATION

42       radio picks up station names and present stations from a  config  file.
43       It  can  parse  kradio (KDE radio app) config files, therefore it first
44       tries the usual KDE config file location: ~/.kde/share/config/kradiorc.
45       Failing that, radio tries ~/.radio (which makes things a bit easier for
46       people who don't use kradio).
47
48       The format looks like this:
49
50       # KDE Config File
51       [Buttons]
52       1=95800000
53       2=91400000
54       [Stations]
55       100600000=Hundert,6
56       95800000=Radio eins
57       102600000=Fritz
58       94300000=r.s.2
59       91400000=Berliner Rundfunk
60
61       The [Buttons] section can have up  to  eight  entries.   That  are  the
62       present  stations,  they  get  mapped to F1-F8.  The [Stations] section
63       maps frequencies to station names.  The frequencies  in  both  sections
64       are specified in Hz.
65

KEYS

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