Separate APMode and Station mode.
Benefit
As Ground Station APMode is not needed. ESP is accessible over the connected network. No need to broadcast unneeded SSID
Hi,
I added this feature in the settings.
Please try and give feedback.
Looks promising, annoying beacon is gone ;-) Thanks!!
P.S. Realized that the bandwith in AP mode is 40Mhz. Makes no sense for this application. You could go down to 20 without performance issue, but save a remarkable amount of battery power.

And for even more airtime for Pilots with wifi setup and distance of a few centimeters between devices reducing power would tackle another percents..
