5,700+ STATIONS FROM ACMA
Comprehensive database of 2,758 digital TV and 2,939 FM radio stations across all states and territories. Fresh data sourced from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (January 2026). Switch between TV and FM with one tap.
RADAR COMPASS
See all stations plotted on a radar-style compass by bearing and distance. Colour-coded dots show power levels at a glance. Select a station and rotate your device — the compass ring glows green with a haptic tap when you're pointing directly at it.
DX LOGGING
Built for DXers. Mark stations as received with a single tap. Rate your favourites from 1 to 3 stars. Track your furthest reception with the Top DX leaderboard and trophy system. Export your complete DX log as a CSV file to share or archive.
AERIAL HEIGHT CALCULATOR
The Signal Path Profile shows terrain elevation between you and the transmitter. If line of sight is blocked, the Aerial Height Calculator tells you exactly how high to raise your aerial to clear the obstruction — down to the metre.
AERIAL RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
"What Can I Receive?" analyses all nearby transmitters and recommends the best direction to point your aerial. It tells you the aerial type, polarisation, channel range, and minimum mount height — a complete aerial shopping guide.
AR POINTER
Point your phone's camera and follow the on-screen crosshair. Chevrons guide you which way to turn — left, right, up, down. The crosshair turns green and gives a haptic tap when you're locked on target.
