"A lot" being + 300 for about 1 seconds then - 600 for another half
second to +700 then it will stick for a while, only to go back to very
odd changes. If I read this right I would have had 60 aircraft around
me between 5 to 0 miles and one at just about every altitude.

Yeah, I'd call that "a lot". G It's certainly more than could be
accounted for by normal encoder "quantization" error.

Your guess about what may be happening sounds like a good possibility.
Having developed a lot of this software for the military, it *is* difficult
to keep multiple threat tracks identified uniquely. Of course, that is
with all the aircraft involved possibly undergoing high-G high speed
maneuvering. The ATD-300 has less sensor data available than I have in the
typical fighter aircraft, but the targets are also doing a LOT less
maneuvering.

I am starting to think that the ATD-300 is still in a "beta-test"
mode, and perhaps not ready for prime time.

The ATD-200 had similar problems, and a bunch of them had to be sent back
for "adjustment." They kept picking up the host aircraft as a threat.
