Hey guys, i finally finished my "Empty Frequencies Finder" (E.F.F) shell script program! Tested it many times and works fine. Execute it, select the range to be scanned for example 99200-123400 (99200 equals to 99.2 and 123400 to 123.4 FM) and will find the empty/free frequencies for you so you can clearly transmit to your radio . Versions with more features and ui improvements will follow (i have some ideas in my mind).

I would really appreciate it, if someone could help me create a deb file, so its easier for people to install and run via the app menu.

I am currently makiing, a much better with more features C++/Qt version of it .

***CHANGE-LOG***
1.1.1
Added the chance to select for how empty frequencies to search
Now every cancel button can really cancel the process
Fixed the sound/gstreamer problem

1.2.3
Added the chance to select if you want gui or not during scanning so you can multitask
Better scanning results
Some ui changes

1.3.0
Checks if headphones are pluged in

I am planning to release a new version (probably tomorrow), that will offer you the chance to select: for how much empty frequencies to search.

Just one suggestion - perhaps a slightly softer sound when scanning.
Also there appears to be no way to cancel the scan. Cancelling still leaves the sound running.


Thanks for this.

I don't think it's necessary to have the gstreamer soundpipe running while scanning, so you could completely go without the sound.

Great stuff dude!!

...where is your "Donate" link?

...I agree with the others about the sound ... perhaps you can make it optional?

DO THIS:
open xterm
type:
mkdir /home/user/bin
mv /home/user/MyDocs/<the path of your download file>
chmod u+x /home/user/bin/EFF-1.0.5
root
/home/user/bin/EFF-1.0.5

You need to do the above only once. The next time you want to run the EFF, just type:
/home/user/bin/EFF-1.0.5
