==== Description: ====
RFree is free software for allocating FM radio stations. It uses the FCC's
database of existing stations, as well as the rules about spacing between
stations, to identify locations and channels available for new stations. RFree
is an expansion of the contour software written by RF engineer Al Davis for
this purpose, and also draws on the FCC's own fortran code.
The primary purpose of RFree is to support new and existing community radio
stations that are using the airwaves for community expression and social
change. The existing software options for FM allocations are proprietary and
pricey, and are therefore only available to RF engineers with substantial
resources. RFree will allow experienced but less resourced engineers to
provide affordable engineering to community groups.
The RFree project is free software for free radio and is open to all
contributors of all skill levels. Development is being supported by the
Prometheus Radio Project (http://prometheusradio.org).
The source code is currently available at
http://www.hostedredmine.com/projects/rfree/files. The relevant file is
rfree-2011-11-10.tar.gz.
