UINT __stdcall RadcapGetRSSI
(
enum RadcapTunerType Mode,
int
TunerID);
Parameters
Mode
Specifies AM or FM tuner.
TunerID
Index of the station to be read, beginning at zero for the first
station.
Return value
If the function succeeds the return value is the received signal strength
indicator.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError ().
Comments
The received signal strength indicator is not available on the original
2-channel FM Radcap cards. This function will succeed with those cards
but will always return 0.
The received signal strength indicator is a relative indication only and
should not be taken as an absolute measurement of signal strength.
This function will fail if the monitor program (Tuner.exe) or spectrum
display program (AmSpectrum.exe) is running.
BOOL __stdcall RadcapGetStereo
(
enum RadcapTunerType Mode,
int
TunerID);
Parameters
Mode
Specifies AM or FM tuner.
TunerID
Index of the station to be read, beginning at zero for the first
station.
Return value
The return value is TRUE if the station is being received in stereo.
Comments
The stereo indicator is only available on the FM Radcap cards, and
then only if the card is configured for stereo reception. This function
will fail if the monitor program (Tuner.exe) or spectrum display program
(AmSpectrum.exe) is running.
