mckero 23f47d9122 fix(cw): keep the shift marker visible when the pitch readout goes negative
The guard suppressed every marker, the target line included, whenever the
reported pitch was not positive. Shifting a low tone UP makes that routine:
pitch is (loudestBin * 12.5 - shiftHz), so with a 100 Hz tone shifted +700 Hz it
goes negative for 25 of the 65 bins, down to -300 Hz, and updateSignalMetrics
applies no prominence test so mains hum in a key-up gap is enough to park the
argmax down there. 77 reachable (tone, bin) pairs across 100-350 Hz produce it.
The result was the display showing nothing at all while the shift was active -
exactly what the previous commit set out to fix.

The target line is now drawn on the strength of the shift alone, since a shift
being applied is the fact worth showing and it does not depend on the pitch. A
non-positive pitch marks the low edge, which is where such a tone actually is,
and only the numeric label is suppressed because the number itself is nonsense.
A NaN pitch previously slipped past all three comparisons and rendered the HIGH
edge marker labelled "0 Hz"; it now draws the target line only.

TONE_SHIFT_TARGET_HZ reads CwToneShifter.TARGET_HZ instead of recomputing the
window midpoint. The two are equal today by coincidence, not construction:
retuning either would leave the green line marking a frequency nothing is
delivered to, silently. CwToneShifterTest now pins TARGET_HZ inside the window
and clear of its edges, which is the one part of this the JVM suite can hold.

The label side now tips at the target rather than the window maximum, so a pitch
sitting on the upper edge gets its text on the same side as its line.

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.
