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 fre-
	    quency.  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 sta-
	    tion 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	frequen-
     cies  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.
