I think it's perfectly fine to have an unrealistic 'dummy' mode for
those who don't care .... but setting such behaviour into stone by
hard-coding it into the implementation of a navaid reciever is probably
not qualifying for extremely clever design in the long run.
A reasonable compromise would be having a radio that works as in real
life, accompagnied by a separate routine - which allows to be manually
disabled or overridden by a real world controller - to implement the
desired dummy mode.
Cheers,
Martin.
