Maps and Antennas
Main view
The Main view is two configurable panes (per profile, Settings → General → Main view). Choose from: great-circle map, locator (street) map, the cluster grid, the worked-before grid, recent QSOs, the FlexRadio controls, the Icom console, or the Net control panel.
Great-circle map
- Short/long-path distance & azimuth to the worked station.
- Selectable, key-free basemaps: Light / Voyager / Street / Satellite (all labelled).
- The antenna beam lobe(s) are drawn from the rotor azimuth.
Locator (street) map
An OSM street map centred on the contacted grid square — handy for local / portable contacts. No API key.
Rotor compass
An azimuthal-equidistant click-to-turn compass driven by PstRotator. The current heading and target are shown; click a bearing to turn the rotor.
Ultrabeam
Ultrabeam antennas are supported with three modes — Normal, 180° reverse, Bidirectional:
- The radiating direction is shown in green and the mechanical boom in grey, on both the compass and the map, so you always know where the antenna actually points.
- The antenna follows the rig frequency (band change → retune), and retunes immediately when you click a spot.
