Splitting PowerFLARM

Do you send PowerFLARM data to both displays? What are you using to split the PowerFLARM signal? Are you happy with this setup?

Slightly off topic, but I am hoping that having an LX9000 I won't see the need to run my PNA! (My current plan is to keep the GliderGuider in a pocket, available for use only as a fallback if the panel goes down). I do have a Butterfly display taking Flarm output, but I don't yet know whether that will provide worthwhile addional info to what I see on the LX (and hear from it, of course, since it has a voice warning system). I am expecting that by default in order to avoid screen clutter I will not show Flarm targets on the LX9000, but will be able to turn on a large Flarm radar display when I want more Flarm info.

Are you planning to have a PF display as well as an MFD and a PNA? How do you expect to use the two or three displays?

Had a short sit in a cockpit with a panel mounted PF display and my eyes found it useless. Besides, do not want to give up panel real estate. The CN or LX 9000 does a much better job.

PNA is backup.

Thanks Dave for your verification; I should have read the PF manual before asking question.
