RigRef vs PrivacyScan

RigRef is the offline quick-reference and toolkit your two-way radio forgot to include. When you can't remember which menu unlocks the keypad, sets a repeater offset, or turns on the weather alert — and there's no signal to look it up — RigRef has the answer, saved on your phone. 36 RADIOS, 980+ HOW-TO CARDS Step-by-step instructions for the radios people actually own: Baofeng UV-5R, UV-82, UV-9R Plus, BF-F8HP, AR-5RM; Quansheng UV-K5/K6 (including egzumer custom firmware); Yaesu FT-60R, FT-65R, FT-4XR, VX-6R, FT-70D, FT5D, FT3D; Icom IC-V86, IC-T10, ID-52; Kenwood TH-K20A, TH-D74A; GMRS from BTECH, Wouxun, Radioddity and Midland; DMR from AnyTone, TYT and more. Every card lists the exact buttons and menu items. Search across every radio at once ("how do I scan?") or browse one radio by category — power, memory channels, tones, repeaters, scanning, digital, and more. OFFLINE TOOLKIT On-device tools that work with no signal: - RF calculators: antenna length, coax loss, repeater offset, SWR/return loss, power & ERP, DC voltage drop, range/line-of-sight, grid square, and battery life. - A contact (QSO) logbook with one-tap ADIF export. - A channel/memory editor that validates entries and imports/exports CHIRP CSV to program your radio. - An ICS-205 net log to build a comms plan and track check-ins. - Repeaters Near Me: sort imported repeaters by distance and bearing using GPS and the compass. - A tone generator: DTMF, 1750 Hz tone burst, CTCSS and reference tones. - A camera scanner that reads a printed frequency list into editable channels. WORKS WHEN NOTHING ELSE DOES Everything is stored on your device. No account, no sign-in, no internet required. EMERGENCY & PREPAREDNESS FREQUENCIES A bundled, offline list of common US frequencies — FRS, GMRS, MURS, CB, marine, NOAA weather, and ham calling channels — with notes on what needs a license. REPEATERS, OFFLINE Import a CHIRP/CSV repeater list (export from RepeaterBook in CHIRP format) and browse it offline with band and mode filters. Data courtesy of RepeaterBook.com. FIELD COMMS PLANNER Build the channels your team will actually use on a trip or operation, then share them phone-to-phone with no internet (Supporter feature). Receiving a plan is always free. READABLE IN THE FIELD Field Mode bumps the text size for gloves, bright sun, or shaky hands — free for everyone. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL SUPPORTER UNLOCK All reference content and tools are free, forever. An optional Supporter unlock adds color themes, alternate app icons, a red Night Vision mode, and over-the-air plan sending. Tips are welcome but never required. IMPORTANT RigRef is a quick reference, not a substitute for your radio's manual. Procedures vary by firmware and region — always confirm against your actual radio. Transmitting on some services requires a license; you are responsible for operating legally. 73!

Check a hotel room, an Airbnb or a rental for devices that should not be there — and see, in plain words, what this app can and cannot find. WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES - Lists every device advertising a service on the Wi-Fi you are connected to, with its name, its IP address and the services it offers - Scores each one on how much it looks like an IP camera (RTSP, ONVIF, NVR and camera-style names) - Lists Bluetooth Low Energy devices nearby with signal strength and an estimated distance, and flags names used by cameras and recorders - Walks you through a room inspection: 29 checkpoints in 5 groups — smoke detectors, sockets, USB chargers, alarm clocks, picture frames, vents - Turns on the torch with a live camera preview so you can sweep surfaces for the small bright dot a lens reflects - Exports the whole inspection as a PDF report WHAT IT CANNOT DO, STATED PLAINLY An iPhone has no radio receiver for RF sweeping. Apps that animate a radar dial and call it RF detection are showing you an animation. This one does not. It cannot find a camera that records to a local card and never touches the network. It cannot find one on a different Wi-Fi network, or on a router with client isolation switched on. The torch sweep is you looking at a screen: it is a manual aid, not a detector, and it does not see infrared. A high camera score is not a camera. It means that device advertises services cameras commonly use — a network video recorder and a doorbell look alike from the outside. The number is a reason to walk over and look. COMMON QUESTIONS Can an iPhone detect a hidden camera? Not by itself. It can find devices that announce themselves on the network or over Bluetooth, and it can help you look. Anything offline you find with your eyes. Does it detect RF signals? No, and nothing on an iPhone can. There is no RF receiver in the phone that an app can reach. Does the infrared test work? The app shows the back camera's live view so you can check a remote control emits IR and then sweep the room. Most iPhone cameras filter out 940 nm, the wavelength most covert cameras use, so a clean result proves nothing. Does it need an account or internet? Neither. Scanning is local, nothing is uploaded, there is no sign-up. What is behind the paywall? Unlimited scans, the full device list, the saved reports and the PDF export. The scanners themselves run on the free plan. What language is it in? It follows your iPhone; the interface is translated into 34 languages. FOR Hotel rooms, short-term rentals, changing rooms, offices, shared flats, and anyone who wants to check rather than assume.
