You could let us know if it works with iGlide too. Hello Linar, We experimented with our new Prime Mk II device last weekend. It was a non-flying day here in Colorado, so we ground tested it against a PowerFLARM in a parked Ventus. We successfully paired the device (using Wi-Fi) with XCSoar running on a Samsung Tab A tablet. Then, we tested it by walking up and down the taxiway and were pleased to see that our "glider" was clearly displayed on the Ventus FLARM display and the Ventus was displayed on our tablet. Mission accomplished, so far. Next step will be to set up an OGN receiver and do some flight testing. It's quite amazing that a DIY product that goes together in five minutes and costs about $50 can provide this kind of capability. (One of our members made the enclosure on his 3D printer.) Thank you Linar! Note: I was hoping to try it with iGlide on the iPhone X, but was not successful. I installed AirConnect on the iPhone but couldn't get them to link.. I've never used AirConnect before and may not be configuring it correctly.. Is there a secret to this? I would appreciate any helpful suggestions from anyone who has had success with iGlide. Mike, Mark ... any suggestions? Thanks, Ed A Ed, I will send Mark an email asking him to contact you, I do not think he usually monitors this site. I use Android/XCSoar, so can,t help you with IGlide.. Mike |

Any news or comment how this system is working presently would be appreciated. If you have $1.5K+ to spend, buy a PowerFlarm. Although.... Having used the Soft RF Flarm device for a year, I can say that it does work well as a sailplane proximity device. I have as good as or better range than a commercially available Power Flarm. I see them and they see me. Last summer our OGN tracking station could see my LAK over 40 miles away and this summer a pilot told me I was visible to his powerflarm at 18 miles distance. It works. It only sees Flarm traffic so in that regard it is not as complete as a Power Flarm that also sees transponder traffic. For a very small amount of money it is a very good safety measure. There is now a separate wifi display with voice alerts available for about $35.00 that easily connects to the SoftRF Flarm device. So, if you purchase the boards yourself and have the enclosures 3d printed you can have a Power Flarm compatible device with a daylight readable display for less than $150.00 US. Mike |

If they can't answer this question affirmatively, don't walk, run from them.. Tom |

I am under the assumption that Flarm uses unlicensed spectrum to transmit. |

I'm not an expert, but have some experience with various GPS trackers that use unlicensed spectrum. All the commercially available devices (including Flarm and PowerMouse) have had to receive FCC approval.
You can't do whatever you want in unlicensed spectrum. There are rules with regard to power output and how long you can transmit on a channel, which is one reason why many devices above a certain power output use frequency hopping. Without that the spectrum would be gummed upon and useless. I don't know what the rules are for homemade devices, but presumably if you run afoul of the FCC guidelines for frequency use and they can find you there will be a conversation.
