DOCThe map & other operators
Following other stations
Star the operators you care about and Open Signal alerts you the moment they come on air — without nagging you all session.
Follow the operators you care about and the app tells you the moment they come on air — no more missing your regular sked.
How to follow
Every row in the HEARD list has a star. Click it: filled star = following. Click again to unfollow.
What following does
- When a followed station comes on air (appears in the presence roster), a corner alert pops with their callsign.
- Following someone who’s already on air alerts immediately, so you know right away.
- A station only re-alerts after it has left and come back — no nagging every minute of a long session.
- The Heard panel shows an “on air now” line listing which of your followed stations are currently up.
Quieting it down
The followed-station alert has its own toggle in Personalise → notifications, independent of the other pop-ups.
