Suppress traffic warnings below a certain height

Group: Forum Members Posts: 0, Visits: 4	Hi folks, Having now added a PA system to the aircraft, I'm seeing some great results with SkyDemon producing aural alerts for traffic. The one main issue I have is when joining the circuit, it just won't shut up. Today, I also had it warning about traffic at the hold when I took off. This can be very distracting and has had me shouting at SD to shut up, followed by trying to yank out the audio cable. Would there be a way of adding a filter so that (say), it doesn't display any traffic warnings below a set value? I'd probably set mine at 1500ft AGL for example.

Busy airfields, with perhaps half a dozen or more aircraft manoeuvring on the ground will swamp the audio channel when one is on final. Please don't dismiss the idea of us having something just slightly more granular than 'silence all traffic'. Edited 10/9/2020 5:31:18 PM by grahamb
