- In your Flarm, set your ICAO 24-bit code to "0". Each time you power up your Flarm, your Flarm-Radio ID will be newly randomly generated.


If so, this is quite the undocumented Easter egg. Can anyone confirm?

It's not undocumented.

It works if you use the online Flarm configuration tool:

"ICAO 24-bit aircraft address, hexadecimal
Official 24-bit ICAO aircraft address in hexadecimal notation, as issued by local CAA. It consists of six hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f) and can be obtained from the aircraft papers. Must match the address configured in the Mode-S transponder. If the aircraft does not have a Mode-S transponder, it's possible to leave the field empty to use the device specific radio id.. Enter "0" (zero) for random id (not recommended, will make Search and Rescue (SAR) very difficult)."

Thank you...
