- Worth noticing
- The page says transmitter locations and data are stored on the phone; place-name search is the one feature that needs a connection.
Field notes
The page describes a workflow built for the awkward conditions of antenna work: one hand free on a ladder, potentially without mobile reception. Users can compare nearby transmitters and see their bearing, distance, expected strength, channels, and mounting orientation. The site says the underlying transmitter register is kept on the phone and refreshed weekly; place-name search is the exception that requires a connection.
