Oudie with constant flarm warnings

I have a power core outputing to an Oudie, Butterfly display and SN10b.

I bought all the equipment during the glider purchase, and this is my first experience with all of these devices. I updated all the firmware and software with all the equipment and went flying. The butterfly display seems to be working correctly, however my Oudie was initially providing me sporadic warnings of an aircraft just slightly above and behind me, when there was noone there. I used another glider to confirm they were getting two targets for my ship.

I then used the flarm configuration tool to change the power core to match my transponder hex code and update my name. I now get constant, never ending flarm warnings on my oudie as soon as I start moving.

Also, I loaded on the latest flarmnet to make sure I had all the local ships' contest IDs instead of the hexcode for the targets. My butterfly display does not show the contest IDs but my Oudie does.

I'm at a loss to know what I need to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

I used the following txt file for my configuration:

$PFLAC,S,DEF
$PFLAC,S,ID,A6C7C2
$PFLAC,S,ACFT,1
$PFLAC,S,NMEAOUT1,71

$PFLAC,S,VRANGE,500

$PFLAC,S,AUDIOVOLUME,100
$PFLAC,S,LOGINT,4
$PFLAC,S,CLEARLOGS

$PFLAC,S,COMPCLASS,15m
$PFLAC,S,COMPID,XV
$PFLAC,S,PRIV,0
$PFLAC,S,NOTRACK,0

Sorry--I was in error--
BAUD1,0 sets the RJ45 to 4800. Way too slow--device can't keep up.
Try using setting for 19,200 BAUD1,2
Is Oudie on the RJ45, port 1? If so you'll need to set it to 19.200 also.

Also set the SN10B to 19200.

If you have not already solved the problem, it appears from the snippet of cfg above that your config file is not configured to announce to your flarm that you have a Mode C transponder on board.

To configure your flarm for transponder add this to your cfg:

# Set what kind of transponder you have installed:
# 0 ... no XPDR (default)
# 1 ... Mode C
# 2 ... Mode S
$pflac,s,xpdr,1

Why not disable flarm warnings from Oudie?

And WHY does one have a Flarm?
