They'll appear in red during the searches.

Important: in its current version ( v1.0 ), the application saves your data on the device where it is executed. This implies that your information is not shared with other devices. For example if you have a phone and a tablet, they will not exchange any information, the information on your phone is independent from information on your tablet.

By clicking on your option button (3 white vertical square in the top-right corner of the screen) of your phone, you'll be able to change some options.

Available options:

• Length of the wire: represents the length of your Lecher wire in cm, a standard antenna has a lecher wire of 20,05cm.
• Location of the zero: indicates where is the zero, up or down. In a standard Lecher antenna the zero is at the top of the antenna.
• Unit used: Marks can be seen in cm or feet.
• Search gaps: specify the gaps between the searched value and the result of the search.
• Length of title: specify the number of characters that can be seen in the search screen.

Preferences are saved automatically.

If your antenna does not have the standard length (20.05cm) after changing the options the following algorithm will be used:

• Sample, we'll take an antenna of 30cm length with the zero on top.
• We'll look for the north; the standard mark is 5.7 cm (antenna of 20.05cm with zero on top).
• We invert the mark: 20.05 - 5.7 = 14.35 cm, standard mark as if zero was at bottom.
• This value is ok for a 30cm antenna(or any antenna), so, if zero was at bottom we'll stop here, but zero is on top.
• So we invert the value: 30 - 14.35 = 15.65 cm that is the correct value for a 30 cm antenna with zero on top.
