The arrival time differences at the sensors along the TA wire are identical if it came from a port or starboard relative angle. The time difference of signal arrival is all that the TA equipment knows. Automating this decision process is cheating the laws of physics.

Good idea! I'll write it in my design document but will not implement it immediately since it is more effort...but for a next iteration I'll have a look.
