NAME

       fmit - Free Music Instrument Tuner

SYNOPSIS

       fmit
       There are no command line options.

DESCRIPTION

       The Free Music Instrument Tuner (fmit) is a graphical sofware for tuning your music instrument using QT as gui library.
       For the sound input library you can choise to use ALSA or JACK.
       fmit contain all features of a standard hardware instrument tuner.

       You choise the tuning frequency corresponding at your tuning note, and when you play it, fmit display your error margin.

       Other  views  are  availables,  corresponding to more advanced and specific features like a microtonal tuning with more precision about you
       error margin, and a view of the harmonics ratio.
       Currently 6 views are availables:

       1   A small view of the captured sound.
       2   An history of the pitch error.
       3   An history of the sound volume.
       4   The shape of the wave-length.
       5   Harmonics ratio (the formants).
       6   A microtonal tuning view.

BUGS

       Please send bug reports or any other feedback to the fmit mailing-lists:
	<fmit-user@gna.org> : For bug reports and other problems.
	<fmit-cvs@gna.org> : For CVS commits.

NAME

       fmscan - scan FM band for radio stations

SYNOPSIS

       fm [ -h ] [ -d device ] [ -t tuner ] [ -s freq ] [ -e freq ] [ -i freq ] [ -q ]

DESCRIPTION

       fmscan  is a program to scan a frequency band for radio stations, using the video4linux interface introduced in 2.1.x series Linux kernels.
       It shows which ones have a accumulated signal strength of 50% or higher.

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

       -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.

       -s freq
	      Starting frequency for scan, in MHz.  Default: 87.9.

       -e freq
	      Ending frequency for scan, in MHz.  Default: 107.9.

       -i freq
	      Increment between scanned channels, in MHz.  Default: 0.2.

       -t percent
	      Signal strength threshold to consider a channel.	Default: 50%.

       -q     Quiet mode.  Suppresses progress output.

BUGS

       This process can take a while, and results vary greatly depending on the radio card in use.  If your card's hardware cannot  report  signal
       strength, it will not produce useful results.

       This program may not do much if your radio card's driver doesn't support fine tuning in 1/16000 MHz offsets.  By default, V4L2 assumes 1/16
       MHz tuning units, which introduces evil rounding errors on many frequencies.

       Supports only tuner 0 on any given device.
