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 interac-
	      tive  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 "ra-
	      dio.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 cor-
	      rect  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.
