FEATURE REQ: Distance filter

[robsymax]

It would be great to be able to limit the aircraft displayed to those within a set distance to the receiver for the purpose of gauging rough aircraft noise. Is this easy to implement?

I would also like to see this feature, and an associated audible alarm option for aircraft within a chosen distance and below a chosen altitude. This would be a very useful option for UAV pilots as a warning of nearby aircraft.

+1 for me!!
