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.
