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

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..
