Look for:

    Variable:
        Display_.aloha_circle

    Functions:
        draw_aloha_circle()
        calc_aloha()
        Display_aloha_circle_toggle()

If you want to save/restore the Display_.aloha_circle variable, the
best place to start would be in xa_config.c where the other
"Display_.*" variables are saved/restored.

Probably the easiest option is to change the '1' to a '0' at line
547 of main.c, which should disable it until you manually turn it
on:

What_to_display Display_ = { 1, // callsign
                             1, // label_all_trackpoints
                             1, // symbol
                             1, // symbol_rotate
                             1, // trail

                             1, // course
                             1, // speed
                             1, // speed_short
                             1, // altitude

                             1, // weather
                             1, // weather_text
                             1, // temperature_only
                             1, // wind_barb

                             1, // aloha_circle (CHANGE TO A '0' HERE)
                             1, // ambiguity
