Tim,
I wonder if I can get some clarification regarding running SkyDemon and SafeSky simultaneously on a small screen Android smartphone, when also using SkyEcho 2 (SE2) as a "connected" ADS-B In receiver?
If I understand correctly, SE2 uses an in-built baro sensor so that my "own ship" altitude is correctly detected by SkyDemon with reference to 1013.2 hPa. That is necessary for SkyDemon's collision avoidance algorithms to function correctly as my ADS-B Out altitude is also with reference to 1013.2 hPa.
I believe SafeSky detected aircraft transmit their altitude with reference to WGS84, otherwise known simply as GPS altitude.
So, will SkyDemon's collision avoidance algorithms work correctly (and accurately) if a "SafeSky" detected aircraft is close by, or is seen as a potential collision risk?
I am a bit confused regarding the different altitude references used by SkyDemon/SE2/SafeSky. 

Lastly, I presume there aren't any integration issues with running SkyDemon and SafeSky together on a single, small screen, Android smartphone, but also communicating with my SE2?
Thanks
Tony
