Passes climbing at or above the flip elevation are flown with elevation continuing past 90° instead of a fast azimuth reversal near zenith -- see the flip indicator in Select Target and the Tracking card. 80° is a reasonable default; lower it if your rotator's azimuth slew is on the slow side.
kb3gtn Positioner: found automatically over Bluetooth by its
advertised name -- no port/baud to set.
G-5500: connects over a GS-232B-compatible rotor controller's serial
port. Enable/E-STOP and Home in Rotator Control don't apply to this
controller (always live once powered, no separate homing step) and
are hidden when it's selected.
IC-9700: connects over the radio's built-in [USB] port (CI-V over
USB-serial, no Icom driver needed on Linux). CI-V address only needs
to change from the factory default (A2) if you have multiple CI-V
devices sharing one bus.
TS-2000: connects over the radio's COM port (Kenwood CAT, plain ASCII
commands) -- no CI-V-style address, Kenwood doesn't use bus
addressing the same way.
Pulls CelesTrak's full active-satellite catalog, not just the amateur group -- needed so any NORAD ID you add below resolves, regardless of how CelesTrak classifies it. Which satellites actually show up in Select Target is controlled by the curated + user radio databases below, not by this refresh.
SatStation's bundled database, shipped in the app -- read-only here (see the project README for how to regenerate it). Add an entry below under "Your Satellites" to override any of these.

Satellites/modes you've added or corrected yourself. A user entry for a NORAD ID fully replaces the bundled curated one's modes (not merged mode-by-mode) -- if the bundled data is wrong or incomplete for something, add your own entry here with all the modes it should have, instead of waiting for an upstream fix.
