The great news is the the next version of PowerFLARM firmware should support

It works and it's here (in beta) now.

I don't use or care much about flarmnet, but I do recommend the 2.79 beta because it appears to have better pcas sensitivity and reliability and it allows one to easily update the display to 3.1, which improves readability significantly.

Sure wish they'd chuck those silly, useless pcas circles on the butterfly displays in favor of digital range information (like Zaon). I've suggested this, without reply. If you agree, or have a better idea, I'd encourage you to make your opinion known.
