Static Scan
The "Static Scan" type must be selected for scans performed from a fixed geographic location (e.g. your home).
Once a static scan file is imported, the interface will display the date and time the scan started, as well as the location from which it was performed.
The address is automatically generated by OpenStreetMap based on the coordinates in the file (errors may occur, although the result is generally quite accurate).
A summary table at the top of the page shows the number of channels received, unique multiplexes received, unique transmitters received, and TII codes detected. It also includes the nearest and farthest transmitters from the scan location.
To keep a record of your bandscan summary, the tool allows to export the results to PDF and TXT formats. Choose one of the two formats, then follow the on-screen instructions. Indicate whether you want to include location data (you can hide it for privacy reasons), and add custom notes if needed.
Just below is a summary graph of the reception levels of the different detected multiplexes.
• Red bars indicate multiplexes where audio decoding of services is impossible or relatively difficult.
• Orange bars indicate multiplexes where audio decoding of services is generally possible, but close to the absolute limit, which can therefore cause frequent interruptions.
• Green bars indicate multiplexes where audio decoding of services can be performed without any problems.
A list of received multiplexes and transmitters allows you to analyze your different receptions in detail: Number of transmitters received per multiplex, TII codes, distances, powers and altitudes of transmission sites, multiplex name and ensemble code (EID), maximum detected SNR (overall reception level).
The "dB" value to the right of each transmitter site represents the reception level of this transmitter on the selected multiplex. A value of 0.0 indicates the strongest reception for that transmitter on that multiplex.
Other transmitters are indicated by a minus sign ("-"). The closer the value is to 0.0, the stronger the transmitter's reception level.
Transmitters are sorted by reception level, as on the screenshot below: the first in the list is the strongest, and the last is the weakest.
You can view all the receptions from your scan on a map, which is located at the bottom of the page.
The red dot represents the location from which the scan was performed, and the blue dots represent the different transmitter sites received.
You can choose whether or not to display the lines between the receiving location and the transmitters by clicking the "Show lines" button to check or uncheck the box.
You can also export the map display to a JPEG file by clicking the "Export the map as a JPEG file" button.
By clicking on a blue dot, you will obtain the name of the transmitter site, its distance and azimuth from the receiving location, as well as its altitude.
Just below, the multiplex(es) received from that site are indicated, along with the channel, TII code, and power used to broadcast the multiplex.
By clicking the "Filter by multiplex" button, you can choose which multiplex(es) to display (or hide) on the map.
