    ADSB_LIST_ALT

    ADSB vehicle list altitude filter

    ADSB vehicle list altitude filter. Vehicles detected more than this altitude above our own altitude will be completely ignored. They will not show up in the SRx_ADSB stream to the GCS and will not be considered in any avoidance calculations. A value of 0 will disable this filter.

    ADSB_SQUAWK

    Squawk code

    VFR squawk (Mode 3/A) code is a pre-programmed default code when the pilot is flying VFR and not in contact with ATC. In the USA, the VFR squawk code is octal 1200 (hex 0x280, decimal 640) and in most parts of Europe the VFR squawk code is octal 7000. If an invalid octal number is set then it will be reset to 1200.
