Default PowerFlarm range tool

Hello everyone. I just upgraded my PowerFlarm firmware from 6.42 to version 6.60 this past weekend. After flying I uploaded my .igc file to the PowerFlarm Range Tool to see if anything had changed for the better or worse. Interestingly, the 6.60 generated log file shows zero FLARM data points of any kind in the tool. I can look at the .igc in a text editor and see numerous LFLA records in the file. I know the FLARM was working because I was seeing traffic alerts all day long on my FLARM displays. For grins, I ran a log file generated under FW 6.42 and the Range tool showed many data points. Looking through the log files I see that the 6.42 log file has several encrypted LFLA entries (like LFLA20042502nJMrwj?wwwqyZgn]m#j]HSOIPya) that don't exist in the 6.60 generated log file.

Any ideas?

Robert

I just ran two files generated after I updated to 6.60; both worked with pretty well identical results to 6.42 using the FLARM Range Analyzer Tool.

You might try a factory reset, then install new firmware and flarmcfg.txt. You will lose stored igc files.

# Complete factory reset. Use in a one-line flarmcfg.txt file
$PFLAR,99
