Who is incompatible with who? You have the freedom to choose a device
manufacturer.
The TAdvisor, and probably the OGN devices soon, are not worst than flarm to
do this job.
Anyway, as a wise guy ("Buddy Bob") here stated, shortly we may have OGN
devices acting as collision avoidance systems.
At that point Flarm will change its protocol and adopt the open one.

I fully agree with Bob, it is pointless to ask Flarm to open the protocol.
What we need is several other manufacturers selling their own devices, based
on the OGN open software for example. I have not signed the petition for
this reason.

In the alps this is no more granted. This is what this thread is about.

Wow, why would people buy an incompatible device when there are multiple
manufacturers of compatible devices in the market?
