<h1>English Manual</h1>
<p>
This manual describes more than the controls of KST4Contest. It also
explains how band information, priorities, reachability and other operating
aids are derived, and where the available data does not support an
unambiguous result.

<p>
Each chapter can be used separately. For a new installation, however,
the following order is usually more useful than starting with an isolated
detail.

<h3>Interpret the displayed information</h3>
<p>
Priorities, band information, AP assessments and reachability are
derived from several sources. The corresponding chapters explain which
information is used and where its limitations begin.
