I am not an owner or have any relationship to DSX, only wanted to
inform you.

What's going on with the DSX T-Advisor? It appeared as a competitor to
Flarm with some potential advantages. The website is pretty slow and
pretty scant. Is it in operation? Working with the latest flarm
software updates? Available/will work with the US powerflarm?

John,

from a recent discussion on the segelflug.de forum it seems that the
manufacturers of DSX T-Advisor did not license the FLARM components or
firmware, as other competitors (e.g. LX) did. It seems that they rather
did a reverse engineering of the FLARM protocol.

If that is true, you will get no guarantee that the DSX T-Advisor will
communicate correctly with FLARM or FLARM-compatible devices.
