I’m sure the code/config file matches the Flarm ICAO code. Guess I have to try and find what the FAA has.


It would help if you post your flarmcfg.txt file here.



Here it is:

Why are you using a LXNAV config file instead of a Powerflarm cfg tool.. They are not the same device, similar but not the same. the LXNAV is for config your PowerMouse, FlarmBat, FlarmMouse. It appears you are missing many config items. Let us start with a very important setting.

#PFLAC,S,DEF Sets Default
$PFLAC,S,DEF

Try turning off the PCAS $PFLAC,S,PCASRANGE,0 and see what happens.
