Phase enhancement is used to try and increase the signal amplitude when
Nyquist sample aliasing is suspected. In previous versions, this was
enabled by default. In this version, the default is off. There is now an
additional command line switch --phase-enhance to turn it on.
There are also additional debug statistics which count the number of
phase demodulation failures in for both uncorrected and phase corrected
passes.
Ideally we should clear down the mm structure every loop of our
ModeA/C/S bit detector. However, we're getting 2Mbits of data per
second, and the structure is several tens of bytes long. Clearing down
every loop would require us to zero up to 100Mb per second. The memset
function may be fast, but it's still going to take up valuable processor
time.
So instead of clearing the whole structure every loop, just clear the
important parts.
Instead of force clearing mm.crc to zero if we successfully correct bit
errors, just use the mm.correctedbits variable. This allows us to print
out the crc value containing the errors during list output modes.
Actually use the (DF17) messages where we do bit correction.
Other changes to AVR message I/O.
1) treat mlat timestamp of zero as invalid (easier to work with than
(-1) and equally unlikely).
2) If we don't have a valid timestamp send a without timestamp
'*.......' message rather than '@.......' with invalid time.
3) Drop interpretation of obsolete AVR ' #' & '$' formats - they
wouldn't have worked anyway (wrong length).
If we error correct a DF17 frame, check that the ICAOaddr exists in our
recently seen ICAO cache. This reduces the likelyhood of birthday
paradox solutions producing false ICAO addresses
Restrict Syndromes to exclude DF bits. Do NOT introduce syndromes for
errors in the first 5 bits (DF field)
Use the --aggressive flag to see if we populate the two-bit error
syndromes. If --aggressive is not specified, then we don't attempt to
fix two bit errors.

vk1etI believe there is an error in the way the CRC error syndromes are
being created in the two bit case. The inner loop was introducing an
extra error bit each time through rather than moving it. Below is the
modified code fragment for syndrome creation collapsedSun 07:26

Added quite a lot of new things this time - see modified files or just
be brave and try :)

Updated the version number for Ulrich's code
Replaced some Tabs with spaces
Forward declaration of the fixBitErrors() function required for M$ VC
6.0 to suppress warning messages.
Based on a submission by VK1ET, but I've tweaked it a bit to use the
bFlags.
Basically, only print out values in --interactive that have been
received from the aircraft. Previous versions would display 0.000 for
lat and long for any positionless aircraft. This version prints blanks
instead for any/all fields that are not yet known.
Remove dependency of the SBS output code on the historic (a) aircraft
structure. The only items that were required were the decoded aircraft
Lat/Lon and these are now included in the mm structure.
Rewrite the SBS output code to use mm->bFlags when populating the output
fields. This ensures that all available data is output, and also that no
stale data is sent.
Using the mm->bFlags variable for SBS output means there is no further
requirement for the sbsFlags member in the aircraft structure, so remove
it.
Cross your fingers and hope this hasn't introduced too many bugs !
Implement additional bFlags to validate AircraftOnGround, and FS.
Decode Aircraft On Ground from DF0, DF4, DF5, DF16, DF20, and DF21 where
possible.
Flag FS as valid for DF4, DF5, DF20, DF21,
Remove dr and um from the mm structure. They're only used in console
list output mode, so decode them there if required.
