SatRadio vs Jarvis Link
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
SatRadio
This app provides essential tools for radio and satellite communication engineers. It includes calculators and analysis features for antenna parameters, frequency calculations, link budgets, and modem performance. It also offers miscellaneous utilities for RF engineering tasks.
- Dish antenna analysis (axial ratio, gain, line of sight)
- Frequency calculations (phase noise, doppler, wavelength)
- Radio link analysis (coaxial losses, mismatch losses, EIRP)
- Modem performance metrics (C/N, C/I, PER, BER)
- Miscellaneous RF engineering utilities (dB calculator, converters)

Jarvis Link
Configure and manage networked lighting control systems. This app allows for detailed setup of zones, schedules, and sensor integration for energy-efficient and customized lighting environments.
- Commission light fixtures
- Configure sensor control
- Set automatic schedules
- Create lighting zones
- Manage networked lighting systems
- Energy-efficient lighting

Use this app to commission light fixtures running the Jarvis Link networked lighting control system. Lighting controls can be configured to be controlled by sensors, wall switches, automatic scheduling, and more. Specific equipment is required to control groups of fixtures by each method. Lighting can be commissioned so that lights are zoned so that all lights within a zone operate uniformly. Using Jarvis Networked Lighting Controls can create safe, visible and energy-efficient lighting environments.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Jarvis Link at every 3 months against SatRadio's every 10 months. SatRadio's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
