Narrative:

We have a recurring problem at rdu where aircraft squawking 1200 and then assigned a discrete beacon code; goes into conflict alert with itself; setting off a visual and aural alarm; which is very distracting and takes your attention away from separating airplane. This is a continuing problem that local management knows about; but chooses to do nothing about. It is very much a safety issue.
