I understand powerflarm does not detect UAT due to hardware limitation. It would be great if powerflarm would provide an upgrade path to receive UAT, giving that UAT seem to get more and more popular in USA GA thanks to skybeacon. Even an exchange program will do.

The simplest option would be for PowerFlarm to utilize an off the shelf dual band ADS-B receiver like the pingUSB (https://uavionix.com/products/pingusb/) for the ADS-B IN capability and merge that data with the internally received FLARM information. The pingUSB sells for $175 and supports ADS-R and TIS-B.
