YOU MUST NOT USE THE PowerFLARM UNITS (Brick or Portable) RIGHT "OUT
OF THE BOX". You *MUST* apply a configuration file, with your
aircraft's ID value in the config file. This is CRITICAL!!!


Nonsense!

The default configuration assumes you gave no transponder and your
unit is identified it's own unique FLARM ID.

In big letters so you read it - EVERY FLARM HAS A UNIQUE ID

Only if you have a mode S transponder do you need to change your ID
from the default FLARM ID to the mode S ICAO aircraft address.
