I think there is a consensus on 3 issues:

1 - Poor PCAS performance.


Will be fixed with firmware update.

2 - Poor flarm performance in portables, but not bricks.
Most bricks I know of getting 2-3 miles which is plenty enough
for collision avoidance if you pay attention immediately.


US portables will be recalled to make FLARM hardware equivalent to Bricks (which have more than sufficient range for collision avoidance)

3 - The support and manuals sucks.

Point taken.

Expect to see action on all three points before the end of November.
