Grid Locator vs PSKReporter Client

The Grid Locator app uses the location services to get your current position and calculate the six digit maidenhead grid square locator form the geographic coordinates. The grid locator is used by radioamateurs worldwide to indicate the location of their station and to calculate the distance and bearing to other stations. With this app, which comes with a nice watch companion app, you always know your current locator at a fingertip.

Explore FT8, FT4, and other digital mode reception reports on an interactive world map. Instantly see where your signals are being heard and which stations you are receiving using real, publicly available reception data. Watch digital activity unfold globally with intuitive visual feedback: • Real time reception reports plotted geographically • Switch between I Heard Rx, Heard Me Tx, and Grid based views • Visualize propagation paths, distance, and bearing • Density visualization reveals propagation hotspots and patterns Designed to make complex propagation behavior immediately understandable. Heard Both Ways Pro See who you can work right now: the stations you heard that also heard you, on the same band, in the last hour. One line each with band, country, locator, and bearing, newest first. Tap one to see how you hear them and how they hear you. These are the stations most likely to answer your call. Band Conditions at a Glance Pro • Traffic lights showing Active, Moderate, or Quiet for each band • Based on the stations transmitting and listening in your grid field over the last few minutes • Band list with stations, spots, and the busiest frequency • Band activity graphs showing trends over time A fast and practical way to decide which band to operate. Greyline and Propagation Intelligence Go beyond simple day and night propagation with advanced twilight analysis: • Identify contacts occurring in daylight, night, or twilight • Detect paths crossing the greyline • Compare SNR and distance performance between propagation modes • Greyline Gain Index to evaluate twilight performance versus full daylight • Per band greyline statistics Understand not only where contacts occur, but why they occur. DXCC Tracking Pro Import your ADIF log and automatically detect unworked DXCC entities appearing in your current view. Even when your station is off the air, monitor activity in your grid and see if nearby operators are hearing or working countries you do not yet have. React faster when a new DXCC becomes active. Benchmark Your Station Performance Pro Compare your station with other active stations in your grid: • Unique stations, distance, and SNR • Percentile ranking versus local peers • Distribution charts and leaderboard views • Works in both I Heard Rx and Heard Me Tx modes • Band and time window aware analysis Ideal for testing antennas, optimizing setups, and evaluating real world performance. Grid Based Exploration Go beyond individual callsigns with geographic insights: • Search and explore activity using Maidenhead grid squares • Grid View map showing stations active within your grid • Grid based statistics and charts • Compare propagation behavior across regions Advanced Statistics and Analytics • Statistics adapt to Callsign, Heard, and Grid views • Per band graphs and distributions • Signal to noise ratio SNR analysis • Distance and activity distributions Signal Aware Visualization Reception reports are color coded by signal to noise ratio SNR, including weak signals that still decode successfully. Powerful Filtering • Filter by band, mode, time window, and SNR • Reduce noise in busy conditions PSKReporter Pro - Real Time and Advanced Features Upgrade to PSKReporter Pro to unlock: • Real time MQTT streaming with no polling delay • Heard both ways list • Band activity lights and band conditions • Benchmarking and station performance ranking • Band activity graphs and advanced analytics • Grid search and advanced grid analysis • Enhanced greyline statistics and visualizations • DXCC tracking with ADIF import and live new entity detection Note PSKReporter is an independent client that visualizes publicly available reception data and is not affiliated with or endorsed by PSKReporter.info.
