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.

I link an iPhone dedicated to the SD full-screen traffic display to my headset via bluetooth, and with the increasing number of ADS-B out emitters this is now becoming a real issue - particularly on final, when the last thing one needs is being repeatedly reminded about traffic sitting at the hold or taxying. Final approach is not the time to be fiddling with headset controls or SD 'silence all traffic' settings, so I fully support the concept of SD doing something clever with filtering out traffic that is apparently at AGL
