About CapeFinder

CapeFinder on Windows

CapeFinder finds the Jetvision receivers (Radarcape and Air!Squitter) in your local network and shows their type, IP address, hostname, software version and MAC address.

  • Start CapeFinder and allow network access when Windows asks. Your receivers appear within a few seconds.
  • Double-click a receiver to open its web page (in the Hostname column: via its name).
  • Ctrl+C copies the IP addresses, Ctrl+M the MAC addresses of the ticked receivers.
  • F5 searches again, e.g. after the PC woke up from sleep.
  • Problems? Menu ☰ → Support information … creates a text file. Please send it to [email protected].


Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or 64-bit Linux with a graphical desktop (Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.10 or newer).
  • Radarcape firmware 161030 or newer.
  • The firewall must allow UDP port 15192. Only receivers in the same network as the PC are found (not across routers or VPN).


Known Issues

Windows shows "Windows protected your PC"

  • CapeFinder is not signed, so SmartScreen warns on the first start. Click More info, then Run anyway.
  • With Smart App Control switched on, Windows 11 may block CapeFinder.
For IT departments: to allow CapeFinder in application control, use the SHA-256 checksum from the download table. It changes with every version.
