Hi,
when "show bearingless targets" is selected, what are the vertical and horizontal ranges/distances?
When does the bearingless target circle appear and when does it disappear?
Thanks.

Those parameters are set in your traffic device (presumably PilotAware). The way bearingless targets are detected and filtered is described in full in their documentation.

I'm actually testing Stratux.
Stratux has no parameters for the bearingless targets.
It seems that Skydemon is showing bearingless targets within +/- 2.000 ft while the Stratux own radar shows also bearingless targets much higher or lower.
Can somebody confirm that Skydemon only shows bearingless targets within +/- 2.000 ft?

Skydemon shows bearingless targets within the settings of the vertical filter, which you can find in the menu right above the switch ‘Show Bearingless Targets’. I believe this is set to 2000 ft as default.

Please read the Stratux manual or ask their support for things like this. SkyDemon does not limit what is displayed more than the settings you have configured as documented above.
