Default Borgelt B50 and PowerFLARM Question

The big question and the reason for this post is that I'm concerned as
to whether all the GPS and FLARM and B50 vario data can get through
every update at 9600 baud. Most FLARM systems use 19200 baud or higher
to make sure all the data gets through. Does anyone know whether or not
this approach would work?


I have a B500 + Clasic Flarm talking to a Dell Streak running XCSoar via
a IOIO card. The B500 runs at 4800 and the Flarm at 19200. If you set
Flarm baud rate any slower than 19200, the sending of traffic alert
sentences get disabled by Flarm. Which probably defeats the object of
the exercise.
