Hide old spots if QSY detected #19

Closed ianrenton closed 2 months ago

Currently, if an activator changed frequency but the old frequency spot hasn't timed out yet, you are left with both markers on screen.

I've seen that quite a bit and I'm not sure what to do about it. I could hide the old one, but that means guessing that is just a single operator on a single frequency, so they just QSYed and the old one really is invalid.

But it could get confusing if it's something like a club or special event station where they have multiple operators working multiple frequencies. Then, the current behaviour would be best (showing all spots) and the "fix" would have the marker just showing whatever the latest spot was each time.

I'm leaning towards implementing the fix, because the single operator situation is far more common, and I have no reasonable way to tell which scenario it is.

Some discussion about this on the SOTA reflector: https://reflector.sota.org.uk/t/field-spotter-a-mobile-spotting-utility-for-outdoor-radio/36273/4

TBD whether we just turn off pre-QSY spots, or make it an on/off toggle, or a three-way on/greyed-out/off control.
