Recently got my powerflarm brick. I uploaded my Mode S transponder code per the instructions, but



A - I haven't found a place to enter a contest number



B - Has anyone else out there got their contest number loaded and visible to the rest of the PowerFlarm world? If so, how is that done. No mention in the "manual".



Thanks,

Check the 'flarmnet' thread earlier.
Here are the steps again:

1 - you first need to get your ICAO ID which is available online at http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinqu...m_Inquiry.aspx
2 - Convert it to Hex using the conversion tool at http://www.kloth.net/radio/icao24lookup.php
3 - Enter your Hex ICAO ID to your config file e.g.
$pflac,s,id,FFFFFF
4 - Register your converted ICAO ID on flarmnet as your Radio ID

5 - Download the latest file from
http://www.flarmnet.org/content/inde...23&Itemi d=26
and upload to your Flight Computer/PDA if it supports flarm, as well as your butterfly display.
