The tower symbol also has a code assigned to it, for example, OGNF0E49B, like in the screenshot below: Is SkyDemon, via the Aero Tracker receiver, identifying the transmission from the OGN, or possibly a PAW, transmitter? Thanks Tony

We are not responsible for the traffic types that your device is sending to SkyDemon, so you'd have to ask them what that is.
