Subject: [PATCH] Fix ADS-B remote mode incorrectly stopping other SDR services
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When using a remote SBS feed, no local SDR is needed. The pre-flight
device conflict check was running regardless and stopping whichever
mode had the selected SDR device claimed — even though ADS-B remote
mode never touches a local SDR. Skip the conflict check when remoteConfig is set.
