Interesting! The insensitivity in those 30 units could be due to either installation problems, or to hardware/software problems. Given the success of the Flarm in Europe, I sure it will be resolved sooner or later.

But I think Frank is correct - the solution to the problem needs to addressed publicly to achieve maximum confidence in the PowerFlarm. Unfortunately, the PowerFlarm team hasn't shown a willingness to share in public, as evidenced by the relatively few postings on how they were working to address the long delays in the introduction of the portable, and now the brick, version of the unit.

I doubt that so many units had installation issue. Besides this thing
is so big you don't have many choices where to put it in so either it
works or it doesn't.

One can ask what happened here. Well, there was a change and not
enough testing after the change. Typical outcome when quality controls
are not in place. In regards to a tow plane sailplane issue reported a
month or two ago nor response from PowerFlarm either.

I hope this time around PowerFlarm is going to make a statement
preferably starting with apology to their trusting clients.
