Powerflarm transmit antenna defect
A big Thanks to Rex Mayes at Williams Soaring Center for a replacement Plarm A antenna. I installed the new one and TG reports now seeing me at 6nm! instead of less than 1nm.
The original antenna delivered with the unit actually had a short, unknown to me as others reported actually being able to see me at short distances despite this flaw(found at the crimp of the SMC connector). If others have transmit range issues, then consider ohming out your antenna and check for a short. Darren
