mckero 0208a577c4 fix(aprs): do not tell a mistyped passcode it is in receive-only mode
The previous commit derived "wants receive-only" from AprsPasscode.canTransmit, which is
a boolean over four cases. Both a deliberate -1 and a mistyped passcode return false, so
fixing the mis-diagnosis in one direction introduced it in the other: measured against
the shipped algorithm, three entries - a passcode off by one digit, an arbitrary number,
and a non-numeric entry - were all told they were connected in receive-only mode, when
what they needed to hear was that the passcode does not match the callsign.

classify already distinguishes these; only its ReceiveOnly case counts as a deliberate
choice. A test now pins the distinction, including the fact that all four entries are
equally unable to transmit - which is exactly why the boolean was not enough.

Found by probe before review, not by the suite, which had no test for the reporter's use
of this and still does not.

Look4Sat: Satellite tracker

Look4Sat CI

Get it on Google Play Get it on F-Droid

Radio satellite tracker and pass predictor for Android, inspired by Gpredict

Track satellite passes with ease!

Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites.
You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.

Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location.
To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.

The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation.
It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.

Main features:

  • Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days
  • Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes
  • Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info
  • Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map
  • Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files
  • Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.
