Closing OpsLog dropped the CAT, whose frequency went to 0; the auto-control
read that as out of range and switched the relay OFF, then ON again at the next
launch. Now a rule is skipped entirely when the frequency/band is unknown (CAT
off), so relays keep their state across a close. And on the first evaluation
after launch/save it reads the boards' LIVE state and only switches a relay
that isn't already in the wanted position — no more clunk when it's already
correct.
Automatically switches the Station Control relay boards from the rig's
current frequency / band. Each relay carries one rule: off (manual), a
frequency window (ON inside [lo,hi] kHz, OFF outside), or a set of bands
(ON on those bands, OFF elsewhere). Evaluated on every CAT frequency/band
change; a relay is only switched when its desired state actually changed,
so tuning within a range doesn't hammer the board.
A cached atomic flag keeps the CAT hot path a no-op when the feature is off
(important during FT8 slice churn). Saving re-applies from the live
frequency so a changed rule takes effect immediately.
New Settings → Hardware → Relay auto-control section: master enable plus a
per-relay mode (Off / Frequency / Band) with kHz range inputs or band
chips, per configured relay board. i18n EN + FR. Azimuth/Time modes (the
other two PstRotator tabs) are left for later.
