OK. I give up. I know what this means in terms of unsolicited transmission of
data (as in Mode S). Anyone know its origin or is this an amalgam of two or
more words.....

A lot of Mode S development work was done in Britain, so someone
appropriated the Old English word "squitter" - which roughly translates
as "to squirt" - for the unsolicited transponder replies sent by a Mode
S box. Sorta makes sense, I guess.
