A Users guide to FM FIND
                      (Search FCC Fm Data Base)
  
  
        FMFIND finds all FM stations within the user chosen search
    parameters and lists them.
  
          The user options are:
  
          1)   STATE - select the state which you want searched.
          2)   LENGTH OPTION - select the type of units you want on the   
               search distance (S = statute miles, K = kilometers,        
               N = nautical miles).
          3)   DISTANCE - select a radial search distance from a chosen   
               reference point.
          4)   LATITUDE - select the latitude of the reference point.
          5)   LONGITUDE - select the longitude of the reference point.
          6)   MINIMUM CHAN - select the minimum channel which you want   
               found.
          7)   MAXIMUM CHAN - select the maximum channel which you want   
               found.
  
        FMFIND will search for all stations between the minimum and the
  maximum channels selected that fall within the search distance from the
  reference point and the chosen state.  If no particular state is
    desired, just type "xx" in response to the "state" questions.
  
        The date of the last data base update is given at the beginning
  of the output listing.  The data base is updated about every six
    months.
  
          The following is a sample run of program FMFIND.

Enter the two letter abbreviation of the state you want to search.
If you don't want any particular state enter 'XX'.

 1) State (CO)  xx

Units for distances and heights
   M = Metric (kilometers and meters)
   E = English (statute miles and feet)
   N = Nautical (nautical miles and feet)
 2) Length units ( English - statute miles and feet)?  

Distance from reference site to terminal site   (.000 to 3106.856   mi)
 3)  Distance   (  10.000   mi)?  


    Some records from the Table of Allotments have only 
    0,0,0 for latitude and longitude degrees, minutes, and
    seconds.  To list those records for the state and
    the frequency range you have already chosen, just
    enter 0.0 for the latitude and longitude of the 
    reference site location. 


 Reference site  latitude,
enter as decimal deg(X,Y) or deg,min,sec
(must be between     .00 and   90.00 degrees north)
 4)  Ref site  lat (  40.0346 deg or   40, 2, 4.4 dms)?  

 Reference site  longitude,
enter as decimal deg(X,Y) or deg,min,sec
(must be between     .00 and  175.00 degrees west)
 5)  Ref site  lon ( 105.8956 deg or  105,53,44.2 dms)?  

Enter the minimum frequency of the frequency range that
 you want to search.  It must be greater than or equal to 
 88.0 MHz and less than or equal to 108.0 MHz
 6) Minimum Frequency ( 90.1)?  

Enter the maximum frequency of the frequency range that
