What you are describing soundslike the first attempt at Mode-S display using a piggyback aircraft in SD.
If you update to the latest version of SkyDemon and PilotAware (20160820 or later)
This will now be represented as a ring around your A/C

To update is pretty trivial to do, please download the manual from here

and refer to the section

This can also occur if your aircraft has ADS-B out and the ICAO hex coffee is not set correctly in both the PilotAware and the transponder.
