Very often I make approaches where SkyEcho has detected traffic on the ground that's emitting ADSB out. I then get a constant audio traffic warning of ever increasing urgency all the way to the ground. This is a major source of distraction. 

Up until now I haven't bothered doing anything about them but I've wondered if having a very easy reach option to cancel that particular warning without affecting future ones might be a good idea. A simple pop up button from the SkyDemon logo possibly offering 'Cancel Current Warning' ?

The only option I can see at present is to pull up the tablet settings and kill the audio volume which of course then opens the possibility of forgetting to restor it, or to lose notification of other traffic. Having to do this on short final is less than optimum from a safety point of view.

If you tap the traffic display bottom right of the screen, ‘Ignore aircraft until landing’ will allow you to select the one that’s annoying you, and ‘Silence all’ will do just that until cancelled. 

I have audio from my smartphone going to my Trig radio's external audio input. I fitted a switch between phone and radio to kill SD audio when required..
