    • Show dish alignments
      When this is checked the satellite list displays for each satellite: Azimuth (Azi), Elevation (Ele) and Skew.
    • Show reduced satellites list
      When this is checked the satellite list will be reduced (on restart of the app) to a 'from' to 'until' azimuth. This allows you to reduce the 280 satellites to the part of the earth where you are. Because the earth is a circle and the list is straight you may have to exchange 'from' and 'until' with each other.
    • Show from azimuth
      In this field you enter the 'start' azimuth (or logitude) of the satellite list.
    • Show until azimuth
      In this field you enter the 'until' azimuth (or logitude) of the satellite list.
    • Sort satellites
      Here you can select how the satellite list should be sorted: East-West, West-East, ABC or ZYX.
    • Export lists Import lists
      These are 2 buttons. You can export the satellite lists to SD card or you can Import the satellite lists from SD card. This is a kind of backup for the satellite lists you made. It is also possible to edit the lists but that is not advised. The internal list of 280 satellites can not be changed.
    • Enable updating lists
      When this is checked then updating is enabled. This prevents unwanted updates.
    • Bandwidth latitude
      In this field you can enter a value in degrees. Satellites which are at the geostationary latitude (0.0) plus this value or minus this value (bandwidth) are included with the list. The bandwidth is only used for updating from USSTRATCOM-AGI.
    • Merge bandwidth longitude
      In this field you can enter a value in degrees. Satellites which are within this value, in longitude, from each other and who the share name are merged into one average position. The bandwidth is only used for updating from USSTRATCOM-AGI.
    • Use build-in list
      Here you can select from which source you want to update the satellite list: build-in list, USSTRATCOM-AGI, sats.csv or Enigma satellites.xml
    • -
      In this field you can enter the URL of the sats.csv or Enigma satellites.xml
    • Update satellite list
      Push this button and the update starts. A progress bar informs you about the progress.
