This ioctl +allows enabling or disabling it. + +This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver +that prevents them to be used with some remotes. Wide band receiver might +also be more precise. On the other hand its disadvantage it usually +reduced range of reception. + +.. note:: + + Wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable + carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable + carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier + reports are active will do nothing. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. |
