For pcool - I'm Canadian, there's a couple of feet of snow on the ground, it
snowed yesterday, tonight (Monday) it's supposed to snow, Tuesday snow,
Saturday snow...

So with all this griping about flarm updates, where are the loads of used flarm units for sale here in the US?

I have a PowerFlarm core I can sell you, only $1999. Your choice of firmware.

Yes , but we are flying in other parts of the country. I updated mine to version 6 on Saturday, but none of my colleagues at the field had. I can confirm that we didn't see each other, but at least I could see their transponders.

I had the same experience on Sunday that Mike had. My Core was updated and the other pilots' units were not. No joy. I did see the transponders and heavy iron ADS-B going by up above.

I think the recommended update protocol should have been to defer the update until the first flight after 3/31/15.

Mike and Bob,

And I think your lazy-ass friends should just go ahead and update, it's not that horrifying. At the end of March the old version is going to software heaven - or hell based on your liking - anyway.

Exoanding the market? My wife needs one. She is constantly walking into things.

Good question. I don't know.

OK, I updated my FLARM to 6.0 and told it my new HEX number (different sailplane), but as far as I can see my my mode a/c transponder doesn't know my HEX number...............am I missing something here? How does the FLARM know to disregard my transponder squalk?

JJ,

you also need a sentence in the config file to set the kind of xponder.

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

# configure transponder type
$PFLAC,S,XPDR,2
