(USA) FlarmNet usage

Thanks, Paul, that answers questions about three of the license items.

Can you shed light on the other extra cost options listed in the V2.79 release notes? Specifically, in the US, are the Audio (AUD), the Second FLARM antenna connection (RFB, and the Garmin TIS output (TIS)extra cost options?

Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

The U.S. price for PowerFLARM Core and Portable includes IGC Approval as
standard. That has been the plan from the start. In Europe it is an
option.

Engine Noise Level functionality has always been promoted as an extra cost
option in the USA.

Thanks for the "heads-up", Evan.

The release notes are very interesting. FLARM is now going to charge a fee
for (among other things):

* Engine Noise Level recording (ENL)
* IGC approval (IGC)
* Second FLARM antenna connection (RFB)

If this scheme is applicable to the US, too, then I'll be using my
Volkslogger along with PowerFLARM. At least I'll get an IGC approved flight
trace good for up to world records (OK, stop laughing) with engine noise
monitoring - for free.

I don't use or care much about flarmnet, but I do recommend the 2.79 beta
because it appears to have better pcas sensitivity and reliability and it
allows one to easily update the display to 3.1, which improves readability
significantly.

Sure wish they'd chuck those silly, useless pcas circles on the butterfly
displays in favor of digital range information (like Zaon). I've
suggested this, without reply. If you agree, or have a better idea, I'd
encourage you to make your opinion known.
