The chips in Settings only ever shaped the PSK Reporter SUBSCRIPTION. Neither
feed path checked them: both asked bandopen.Watched, which says which bands the
detector is capable of and knows nothing about the selection. So the cluster
path announced every watched band regardless, and widening the subscription to
"+" for grid chasing let PSK Reporter do the same — a station with only 6 m
ticked got 10 m and 2 m badges.
The selection is now cached beside the on/off flag and checked on both paths,
and unticking a band puts its badge out: badges fade on a timer fed by spots
the detector no longer looks at, so it would otherwise stay lit until a
restart.
"Watch for band openings" only ever governed the extra DATA SOURCES — the RBN
nodes and the PSK Reporter feed. The detector itself ran on every ordinary
cluster spot regardless, so an operator who had never enabled the watch still
got 10 m and 6 m opening banners from a feature he had deliberately left off.
The flag is cached on bandOpenState rather than read per spot: this is the
cluster hot path, where a settings query per spot is exactly what the rest of
this file avoids. startBandOpenFeed owns it, and it already runs at startup and
on every save, so the switch takes effect without a restart.
Switching it off also clears the live badges and the accumulated spot window.
The badges only fade on a timer fed by spots the detector no longer looks at,
so they would otherwise hang there until the next restart; and dropping the
window means switching back on starts from what is on the air rather than from
an hour-old burst. The remembered openings are kept — those really happened.
