Default Glider near miss with Airliner (emergency climb) near Chicago yesterday?

Flew us nationals this summer with a new ship, new pf core feeding LX9000. Used the same config settings as the old glider, changed only to reflect the new ship's transponder.
Double checked these settings after the first day, when the constant alarms caused by one competitor's transponder hijacked the instrument until I could get several miles away from him.
Later in the contest, I heard one contestant ask another to turn off his transponder when entering the gaggle.
Perhaps someone could review here the proper settings in the config file and in the LX to best mitigate false txpdr alarms.
Thanks in advance.
