### Updating the local QTF
At program start, the current local QTF is initialised from the **QTF** default stored in the active root or operator profile. This is a start value only. It does not change the stored default during operation.
KST4Contest asks PSTRotator for the current azimuth and operating mode every two seconds. The reported azimuth becomes `actualQTF`.
While PSTRotator integration is enabled, the QTF field in the main window is therefore read-only. It displays the most recent position reported by PSTRotator.

A received rotator position is therefore more than a displayed value. It changes several functions which depend on the current antenna direction.
Without PSTRotator 1, **Use QTF filter direction as antenna heading** can apply a direction entered in the QTF filter, or selected with one of its compass buttons, to the same `actualQTF`. This also works while **Show only QTF** is switched off. **Reset filters**, switching the filter off and restored filter state do not alter the antenna heading. The transfer is one-way and does not issue a PSTRotator command.
The option is grouped under **Manual antenna heading** and is enabled by default, including for existing root and operator profiles after updating. Clear it to store a profile-specific opt-out. While PSTRotator 1 is enabled, the checkbox is unavailable and the transfer is temporarily inactive. Its stored state is retained, so disabling PSTRotator 1 restores the previous choice. PSTRotator 2 under SO2R is independent of this rule.
The current integration uses azimuth only. Elevation control and complete azimuth/elevation tracking are outside its present scope.
