Scanner Software Downloads

 

Notes: Some software packages require a discriminator output (also known as detector output and wideband audio). Some new scanners such as the AOR 8200, ALINCO, YUPITERU have this feature. Most scanners can be modified for it, as there are so many models, you’ll have to look up yours but click here for further information on Discriminator Output. For explanations on what each decoding mode is go to the Decoding Information Index

TX Lines

Calculate the load impedance of a transmission line when the input is known and vice versa. ©Radio & Communications magazine (software program)

SeaTTY

Decodes Marine RTTY, NAVTEX and HF FAX (WEFAX). This program seems to be a fake (I think it’s an aut number generator) as with no scanner plugged in att al it said is was, and looked like it was decoding NAVTEX-when I checked the character sets, they didn’t match rea NAVTEX ones. Try it for yourself and tell me your opinion.

SSTV

Amatuer Slow Scan Television Software (German)

SPJ Fax

Soundcard fax converting software for MS DOS

Strong Signals - Radio Monitoring Software

Visit this page for a plethora of scanning radio software and links to software all over the world. Highly Recommended Viewing!!

RC45

This is a demo only version of a German radio control software program,

OTTO

Data management software for Optoelectronics Scout & Cub Frequency Counters & Xplorer near field receiver.

JOAR AR8200 Control

The best control software I’ve seen for the AOR8200 and the only one that displays all the contents of the actual handheld’s screen, plus it’s does way more, has many more features and is a much better program over all, and outstanding for capturing with Windows® Media Encoder for broadcasting your AOR live via web.

PACTOR III (Email via HF)

All about PACTOR III, Email via HF radio signals, may be decodable!!!

YOUR SOFTWARE HERE

Design your own pc scanner software and I’ll advertise it for you here*

*Must be a resident or o/s citizen of Australia or New Zealand

 

Any software not here you’d like to see, let me know where to find it or send it to me and I’ll add it to the list. If you’ve got PC control software you recommend for your brand of scanner, again please email a .zip copy (or web link etc)

 

Some of these programs are freeware, some shareware and some are demos or “half” versions of commercial software. Some are trial versions and some are commercial software, some of which require you to licence the software for it to function fully (they all work to some extent). All software is ©ALL RIGHTS RESERVED of the original owner/authors, it is provided here as most is overseas based, these are Australian server downloads.

Where Copyright restrictions don’t allow me to offer downloads, you will be taken to the software manufacturers web site.

 

Many of these programs only need a pc soundcard (or build your own stand alone hardware config) to work that has a line or microphone input. You will also need a cable with a 3.5mm mono plug at scanner end plus a stereo 3.5mm headphone plug at the pc end (or RCA in some cases) that carries the audio from your scanner (either from headphone jack or scanner line/speaker out) to the soundcard’s line in (preferred option) or mic input, then tune your scanner to the correct frequency and mode etc for that type of decoding and away you go.

 

The idea is to show you all what can be decoded with a scanner, using software or hardware and not just Trunk Tracking, the simplest and most boring of them all IMHO. Using either the discrimantor output or the scanner’s audio out the possibilities are almost endless. The software for ‘scanner control’ has not been included, as control software for almost all scanners is available and © the manufacturers.

 

Depending on future disk space and negotiations with scanner manufacturers I may add more than a few scanner control software packages in the future
