1 .TH FM 1 "fmscan 0.99.1"
3 fmscan \- scan FM band for radio stations
24 is a program to scan a frequency band for radio stations, using the
25 video4linux interface introduced in 2.1.x series Linux kernels. It
26 shows which ones have a accumulated signal strength of 50% or higher.
27 This process can take a while, and results vary greatly depending on the
33 Print a usage message to standard output, and exit.
36 Sets \fIdevice\fR as the device to tune. The default is
40 Starting frequency for scan, in MHz. Default: 87.9.
43 Ending frequency for scan, in MHz. Default: 107.9.
46 Increment between scanned channels, in MHz. Default: 0.2.
48 This program may not do much if your radio card's driver doesn't support
49 fine tuning in 1/16000 MHz offsets. By default, v4l assumes 1/16 MHz
50 tuning units, which introduces evil rounding errors on many frequencies.
51 If in doubt, grep for VIDEO_TUNER_LOW in your driver's source.
53 Supports only tuner 0 on any given device.
