Mode C voice alerts on ground #79

Open bglaplante opened 2 weeks ago

bglaplante commented 2 weeks ago

Version 1.9 (I suspect this also applies to the latest version). Now that I have voice alerting to my audio panel, I've found an annoying issue. I will frequently get alerts saying "traffic, 2 miles, minus 100 feet" --- when I'm stationary on the ground. So I'm getting a mode C (no ADSB position) alert - at an impossible location. I suspect the distance is because of it being a weak signal (as it passes through buildings).

I like getting traffic alerts while on the ground, it tells me the system is working (and about traffic in the pattern). But the Mode C only alerts, at and below my altitude are just annoying.

Perhaps Mode C only traffic alerts when "on ground" and the alert is at/below my altitude could be suppressed? [Optionally, since perhaps it is needed in a helicopter]

The other issue here is why are these reporting as 100' below me?
