[ANNOUNCE] E.F.F. Empty Frequencies Finder, shell script program with gui!
 

Hey guys, i finally finished my "Empty Frequencies Finder" (E.F.F) shell script program:D! 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:cool:).

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 .

so many people are gonna love you for this, its an idea waiting to be implemented into so many thing, maybe at an early stage now but i'm sure with a little help you'll be perfecting and integrating it in no time!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] E.F.F. Empty Frequencies Finder, shell script program with gui!
 

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.

How can i run it?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] E.F.F. Empty Frequencies Finder, shell script program with gui!
 

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.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] E.F.F. Empty Frequencies Finder, shell script program with gui!
 

Great stuff dude!!

...where is your "Donate" link?

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

Re: [ANNOUNCE] E.F.F. Empty Frequencies Finder, shell script program with gui!
 

someone can explain me how to run this?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] E.F.F. Empty Frequencies Finder, shell script program with gui!
 

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
