The picocom.8 patch is from schwarze@; it fixes the man page to show
content that was completely lost during formatting due to badly broken
syntax.
Tested by Kyle on amd64 and sgi, and myself on i386.

CHIRP is a free, open-source tool for programming amateur radios.
It supports a large number of manufacturers and models, as well as
provides a way to interface with multiple data sources and formats.
CHIRP's focus is to support reading and writing the memory channels
of as many radio models as possible. This provides the ability to
exchange your programming information between dissimilar radios.
It does not focus on supporting every single knob and setting that
each radio supports.
Fldigi is a software modem for Amateur Radio use. It is a sound card based
program that is used for both transmitting and receiving data in any of the
following modes:
BPSK and QPSK 31, 63, 125, 250 (both), and 63F and 500 (BPSK only)
PSKR 125, 250, and 500
CW speeds from 5 to 200 wpm
DominoEX 4, 5, 8, 11, 16 and 22; also with FEC
Hellschreiber Feld Hell, Slow Hell, Hell x5/x9, FSKHell(-105) and Hell 80
MFSK 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 31, 32 and 64; most with image support
MT63 500, 1000 and 2000
OLIVIA various tones and bandwidths
RTTY various baud rates, shifts, nbr. of data bits, etc.
THOR 4, 5, 8, 11, 16 and 22
Throb and ThrobX 1, 2, and 4
WWV receive only - calibrate your sound card to WWV
Frequency Analysis receive only - measure the frequency of a carrier
Fldigi can also control a transceiver using Hamlib or RigCAT I/O, perform online
or cdrom QRZ queries, log QSOs with the built-in logbook or Xlog, and send
reception reports to the PSK Automatic Propagation Reporter.
DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR
(software defined radio), since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q
samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation.
RTL-SDR provides some tools to work with these devices:
rtl_eeprom: EEPROM programming tool
rtl_sdr: tunes the device and captures raw data to a file
rtl_test: check the possible tuning range
Asynchronous mode is NOT currently supported on OpenBSD. rtl_sdr and rtl_test
have been modified to force synchronous mode, and the following are not yet
available:
rtl_adsb: simple ADS-B decoder (aircraft tracking)
rtl_fm: general purpose analogue demodulator
(narrow band FM, wide band FM, AM and SSB)
rtl_tcp: provides a network server for remote access to an SDR
gconf_ping() will try to shutdown gconfd, but since installing pkg is
done as root, there is not gconfd nor dbus that can be started when
DISPLAY isn't set and an annoying warning is issued.
