That's it!

My friend had only a Mode 3/A transponder with Mode C. He now has a
Flarm so the problem should have been overtaken by events. We'll see

Dan, even if he now has flarm I believe you will continue receiving his Mode C as well. If you have LX9000 You may want to disable the Mode C alarm and only select the mode C traffic alert option which will only give you a voice alert. Not sure how this is implemented in other displays.
