Default Butterfly display (displaying a big red logo under normal flight conditions)

My "own transponder" functionality works just fine and I never get a self
alert.

I'm not sure what it's doing early in the flight - pressing the right switch
to the left, it shows a transponder code of 4707 (IIRC) and, shortly later,
it shows 1202, my squawk. It's fine after that.

PCAS issues are still not resolved if you fly with a transponder. The fix
for continous "own ship" alerting appears to have been to inhibit reporting
of co-altitude targets. My portable still does not perform the function it
was purchased for (traffic awareness and collision warning for my airplane).

I hope the "other issues" the FLARM team are working on include making PCAS
work. That functionality is long overdue.
