NAME

       fm - control frequency, volume, mute/unmute of FM radio card

SYNOPSIS

       fm [ -h ] [ -o ] [ -q ] [ -d device ] [ -t tuner ] [ -T none | forever | time ] on | off | + | - | freq [ volume ]

DESCRIPTION

       fm  is a program to control the frequency, volume, and mute/unmute state of an FM radio card, using the video4linux interface introduced in
       2.1.x series Linux kernels.

   OPTIONS
       -h     Print a usage message to standard output, and exit.

       -o     Ignore frequency range limits of card.  Use if you suspect that the card supports a wider frequency range than its driver believes.

       -q     Quiet mode.  Keeps information on station and volume from being printed on standard output.

       -d device
	      Sets device as the device to tune.  The default is /dev/radio0.

       -t tuner
	      Sets tuner as the tuner on the selected device to adjust.  The default is tuner 0.  Most radio devices have only a single tuner.

       -T none | forever | time
	      After tuning, sleep for the time specified or forever.  Time is specified in seconds by default.	A suffix of m indicates minutes, h
	      indicates hours, or d indicates days.

	      The  -T  option  is  useful  with radio card drivers that only maintain the tuner settings while the tuner's file descriptor remains
	      open.  Try using this option if running fm ordinarily produces only a single "pop" from your speakers.

       freq   Frequency to tune the radio to, in MHz.  For instance, 88.9 specifies a frequency of 88.9 MHz.  AM tuner values are  also  specified
	      in MHz; for instance, 530 kHz would be specified as .530.

       on     Turn the radio on (unmute).

       off    Turn the radio off (mute).

       volume Specify the desired volume, in percent.  Not all radio devices support volume control.

       +      Increase the current volume.

       -      Decrease the current volume.

CONFIGURATION

       fm reads $HOME/.fmrc, if it exists, to obtain default settings.	Each line may take one of the following forms:

       VOL percent
	      Specifies default volume (default: 12.5%).

       INCR percent
	      Volume increment used for + and - options (default: 10%).

       TIME   Default sleep time (default: none).

       All other lines are ignored.

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 obvi-
	      ous 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.
