Gtk-based x11 app to control frequency, volume, mute/unmute of fm radio card

Usage

gradio [-c [-v level] [-f freq] [{-m + | -}]] [-d filename] [-h] [-V]

Overview

gradio is a Gtk-based X11 application to control the frequency, volume, and mute/unmute state of an FM radio card. Gradio uses the video4linux interface found in 2.1.x and later Linux kernels.

Options

-d filename

Use filename as the device to control. The default is set at compile time.

-h

Display usage information and exit.

-V

Display version information and exit.

The remaining options are available on the command-line if -c (command line) is specified. Otherwise, the gradio GUI will appear.

-v level

Set volume to level which must be a number between 0 and 11.

-f freq

Set frequency to freq megahertz.

-m

If a + follows, the card is muted. If a - follows, it is unmuted.
