How Scanner Linker Works

Scanner linker uses your RRUK account and postcode to download a database tailored to your local area, it downloads all frequencies within a 50 mile radius of your postcode as well as all Airport, Airfield, Military Airband and Nationwide frequencies. Scanner linker then connects directly to your scanner and gets the frequency you are tuned to, it then does a superfast lookup against the database it has automatically downloaded and displays the nearest 3 users of that frequency. Each time you start Linker it updates the database so you're always up to date.

To use scanner linker you need to connect your scanner to your Windows PC or Laptop, for many scanners this is simply a USB cable, for some of the older models such as the AOR AR8600 they require a USB to RS232 adapter cable. Scanner linker connects directly to the COM port your scanner is attached to, it reads the frequency you are tuned to and displays the 3 nearest matches including distance from you and the direction in degrees.

Scanner linker doesn't require any third party software to talk to your scanner, you simply run our app and it does all the work.

Scanner Linker with SDRs - SDRUno / SDRSharp

Scanner linker can operate with your SDR using SDRUno or SDRSharp software, to make things simple Scanner Linker uses its own Omnirig profile to talk to SDRUno and SDR Sharp, Omnirig is a free utility for radio and scanner control, SDRUno has Omnirig functionality built directly into it and SDRSharp has a plugin module.
