OscarWatch Tracker - Version 0.9.9

Kenwood TS-2000 Optional Hardware RTS Toggle Added a dedicated setting to toggle hardware Request To Send (RTS) flow control. While RTS remains enabled by default for standard full-handshake CAT cables, operators using basic 3-wire interfaces or custom USB-to-serial adapters can now turn RTS off to prevent CAT communication lockups.
FlexRadio SmartSDR Duplex & Offset Fixes Resolved a race condition during reconnects where single-slice responses could interrupt full-duplex initialisation. Additionally, the software now ignores brief, lagging SmartSDR slice status echoes right after a frequency write, preventing accidental passband trim "snapping" when adjusting offsets.
Network Binding Guard for Satellite Link Serialised network startup tasks so rapid settings updates or service reloads can no longer trigger port conflict errors on local network ports.

Stable Satellite Selection via Catalogue IDs Enabled satellite selection tracking via unique NORAD / Alpha-5 catalogue IDs rather than rely purely on text names. This ensures that if an orbital data provider changes a satellite's display name, your selected target list stays completely intact.
Alpha-5 ID Format Support Fully integrated Alpha-5 catalogue numbers (handling designations above 99,999) across our General Perturbations (GP) JSON processing, standard fixed-width TLE outputs, and transponder databases.
Accurate Alias Matching Refined the satellite name picker and alias matching logic to use strict token boundaries. This fixes an issue where selecting a satellite with a short name (such as "ISAT") would accidentally match longer names like "OrigamiSat 2". (Special thanks to JA3TDW for highlighting this!)

New Supporter Added Added F6ITK to our supporters list. Thank you for helping power the project!
