			Mouse operation:

			*Tuning: Use the mouse to turn the main tuning knob. Note that it does not work in the same way as in the Ten-Tec's Windows program, buth rather more like a real knob: you click on the small hole and drag the mouse around in circles. If you have a wheel mouse and your X server is configured to support it, then you can use the wheel to tune up and down with the selected step, or ten times the step value if you hold Shift down. Keep in mind that for this to work the mouse pointer must be located somewhere over the main window.
			*Volume: Use the slider labelled "Vol" to control the speaker output, or the "Line" to control the line output. Use the "Mute" button to mute both outputs, click it again to unmute.
			*Bandwidth: Use the "BW" slider.
			*Passband Tunning: Use the "PBT" slider. Each step of the slider shifts the passband up or down by 100 Hz, up to 1500 Hz in each direction.
			*CW offset: Use the "CWO" slider.
			*Mode, AGC, Tuning Step: use the corresponding push buttons in the front panel.
			*VFO control: the program emulates a receiver with two VFOs. Each VFO holds not only the current tuning frequency, but also the current Mode, AGC, Tuning Step, Filter Bandwidth and Passband Tuning values. This is very handy to quickly switch between two stations back and forth. Use the "A/B" button to switch between the current and alternate VFO, the "A->B" saves the current settings into the alternate VFO.

			Keyboard shortcuts: The program implements a large number of keyboard shortcuts to allow mouseless operation. The following keys are the most commonly used:

			Right and Left: tune up/down with the current tuning step

			PgUp and PgDn: tune up/down wth ten times the current tuning step

			Up and Down: increase/decrease speaker volume

			Shift/Up and Shift/Down: increase/decrease line output volume

			F1: show the on-line help.

			You will find a complete list in the help pages.

			Frequency database access:

			By Right-clicking on an empty space between buttons a popup menu will appear. Select the "Frequency database..." option to open a new frequency database window.

			[[File:Rx320-db.gif]]

			You can have any given number of database windows open simultaneously. To load a frequency file (.320 or .cdf) use the Open option from the File menu of the database window. Double-click on station names to tune the receiver into that station. Select "Edit/Add new station" to enter a new station into the database, "Edit/Change entry" lets you edit the currently selected database entry.

	This class will not compile on 64-bit systems I have tried a few times to refactor it for 64-bit and came up each time with the conclusion it would be faster and more prudent to write my own in Python (which I now program in). Since this has not yet started I continue to use Hector's program which suits my current needs. I have written numerous Bash and some Python scripts which use Alex Fraiser's rx320 command line program which I have cloned into a Github repo which I will published in a few days.

			==Features==

			Currently the program is capable of communicating with the receiver using one of the available serial ports. There is also support for managing frequency database files: the program can read and save files in Clifton Turner's *.320 format, and the receiver can be tuned to selected stations. New stations can be entered and existing ones can be edited.

			The program can also scan a frequency band and display a graphical view of station activity.

			To run the program, just type rx320 and the main window should appear. You'll probably have to select a serial port, below we explain how to do it and how to use the program.
