As a Sky Demon user for over a year now - including several trips to the western isles and an extended 'solo' trip from Scotland to the Pyrenees this Summer in a flexwing microlight, I have just read this thread with interest. I would also be very keen to see 'Listening Squawks' added to 'airfield information' for those airfields that have them. I consider the use of listening squawks to be an important issue in improving safety around controlled airspace without burdening the ATC with the need to formally provide a basic service which adds to their workload. Tim, you say that the listening squawks come up on the 'Radio Screen' - but despite extensive searching, re-reading the Help Manual and using a 'Ctrl F' search for the term in the Manual I can't find a 'Radio Screen' anywhere!! - so that's not proving very helpful - at least in my case. Surely it would be a simple mod to add the listening squawk to the airfield info for those few UK airfields that use them. I'm sure NATS and the ATC units concerned would greatly appreciate the increase in use of Listening Squawks this would encourage, with the associated increase in air safety and peace of mind to all concerned.
p.s. Thanks for a great product and keep up the good work - I particularly like the new Runway info in the latest versions!
Best regards
Peter
