mckero 7d7abeb31e fix(aprs): prevent duplicate reporters on repeated service starts
Every ACTION_START - and every null intent delivered by START_STICKY - called
startReporting(), which always constructed a new AprsReporter and overwrote the
field without stopping the old one. AprsReporter owns an independent
SupervisorJob + periodic while(isActive) loop, so every overwritten instance
kept reporting forever and could no longer be reached by ACTION_STOP.

Simulation:
  five ACTION_START events: 5 running reporters, 4 leaked -> fixed: 1 / 0
  START + 3 sticky restarts: 4 running, 3 leaked -> fixed: 1 / 0
  mixed real sequence:      4 running, 3 leaked -> fixed: 1 / 0

At the default 10-minute interval, four leaked reporters send 24 duplicate
position packets per hour and open 24 needless connections; this also amplifies
the connect-time socket leak fixed earlier.

startReporting now returns when the current reporter is active. Config changes
remain correct: AprsCard explicitly sends ACTION_STOP before ACTION_START, so
the old reporter is stopped and nulled before the new configuration starts.

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.
