// Periodically search through the list of known Mode-S aircraft and tag them if this
// Mode A/C  matches their known Mode S Squawks or Altitudes(+/- 50feet).
//
// A Mode S equipped aircraft may also respond to Mode A and Mode C SSR interrogations.
// We can't tell if this is a Mode A or C, so scan through the entire aircraft list
// looking for matches on Mode A (squawk) and Mode C (altitude). Flag in the Mode S
// records that we have had a potential Mode A or Mode C response from this aircraft. 
//
// If an aircraft responds to Mode A then it's highly likely to be responding to mode C 
// too, and vice verca. Therefore, once the mode S record is tagged with both a Mode A
// and a Mode C flag, we can be fairly confident that this Mode A/C frame relates to that
// Mode S aircraft.
//
// Mode C's are more likely to clash than Mode A's; There could be several aircraft 
// cruising at FL370, but it's less likely (though not impossible) that there are two 
// aircraft on the same squawk. Therefore, give precidence to Mode A record matches
//
// Note : It's theoretically possible for an aircraft to have the same value for Mode A 
// and Mode C. Therefore we have to check BOTH A AND C for EVERY S.
