I agree with WD that a SD card slot on the round display would have
been nice, but the current display packaging was designed before this
and the brick packaging is a later response to pilot feedback. You
would also need a USB or similar link from a Flarm unit to do this and
no Flarm units had that. The current headless Flarm boxes either have
no SD card slot at all *of like LX's Red Box provide their had their
own remote SD card slot already.

I agree, too, but many (all?) PDAs are capable of downloading flights
from and declaring tasks to the FLARM unit if they are connected.

The SD card in a Flarm has had more use than that and I expect
PowerFLARM to be the same, including managing the device config data.
Otherwise you need to use a PC tool to config these systems. And PDA
software can also support displaying Flarm traffic but none of it
really lets you manage the Flarm unit like you do with the Flarm PC
tool and/or SD card.

With the PowerFLARM brick I expect many pilots will want to find space
on your panel to mount the USB port even if they also download IGC
files with a PDA.
