[FeatureRequest] OneWay forwarding: Meshtastic to ATAK only. #204

Hi, I do have several standalone GPS trackers for meshtastic (Heltec Trackers). I want to use them to track search teams in areas, where no cell coverage is given. As we're also planing on using ATAK, your plugin is ideal. It allows to pubish the position of my team to ATAK and to ATAK connected devices.

However, I realized, that when using the plugin, my channel usage increases and sometime even hits the limit. I am afraid that even if just by bad operators in ATAK or when using more trackers i will get problems. So I am wonding: Is there a possibility to add an option in the future that allows to decide, if the plugin works bidirectional or "one-way" only (meshtastic --> ATAK).
