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/radio).
-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.
