[chirp_users] how to capture radio stream?

[Tom Hayward]

I wrote you a guide:
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio

Sorry, I ran out of time and didn't finish it, but it should be enough
to get you started. Hopefully someone else can fill in some details
because I left it lacking, and what's there is sloppy. But it's better
than nothing!

Please continue this discussion the developer mailing list (linked in
the guide above).
