Default FLARM 2.79 beta

Evaluated with portable only.

There is a very significant improvement in PCAS performance in this build. This morning, while monitoring the KPHX arrival, I consistently saw approaching traffic appear at 4-5 miles and approx 6000ft unless another PCAS target was a higher priority.

On the other enhancements -

Everything on the traffic display still looks black except the battery icon. PCAS targets look just a bit green if viewed well of axis to the right.(I am not color blind)

The change to provide fully automatic frequency selection based on region must be a joke, right? How is the SAW filter being switched??
