The TNK file extension is associated with TrunkTrac applications developed by Scanner Master Police Scanners Corporation. These applications are intended for use with trunking scanners.
A TNK file contains scanner information used by the TrunkTrac software. It is a program data file rather than a general-purpose document, so its contents are intended to be interpreted by the associated application.
Open a TNK file with the TrunkTrac application from Scanner Master Police Scanners Corporation. The file is designed for use by that software and may not display meaningful content in a text editor.
TNK files are application-specific scanner information files and do not have a standard conversion format. Use TrunkTrac to work with the scanner information.
