PySpecSDR - Python SDR Spectrum Analyzer and Signal Processor
===========================================================

This is part of the PySpecSDR program.

It converts a GQRX CSV/Bookmark file to JSON/PySpecSDR format. Make
sure to save the file as sdr_bookmarks.json to load it to PySpecSDR, 
as it is. You can also open the file to an editor and add entries from
it.
