mckero b4cfb16159 fix(radio): don't record frequencies the radio rejected
RadioTrackingService wrote lastSetTxFreq/lastSetRxFreq unconditionally after
calling setFrequency, ignoring its Boolean result. When the radio rejected the
frequency - the FT-817 CAT limit added in the previous commit, a dropped
Bluetooth link, or a failed ack - the remembered value no longer matched what
the radio actually holds. The manual-tuning detector then saw a phantom dial
change on the next read-back (read is the real frequency, lastSet is the one
that never landed) and entered tuning mode: it locked onto the wrong base and
kept rewriting the radio.

Probe of the state machine: before the fix, a rejected 1.26 GHz write against
a radio sitting on 145.5 MHz left lastSet at 1.26 GHz, so every subsequent
cycle read a 1.1 GHz gap and flagged manual tuning forever. After the fix the
lastSet is only updated on success, so the detector sees no change and the
loop keeps applying the next valid frequency. Same fix applied to the split
IC-705 path (setWorkingFrequency/setTxVfoFrequency).

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.
