Default Flarm with Firmware 1.20 update

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been looking for some reference.
I'll give your link a critical read and see if it's right for me.

I would like to see some installations.

Possibly there is some communication issue he the US pilots are
actually talking about PowerFLARM, not the original FLARM. PowerFLARM also
has PCAS capability to detect transponder equipped aircraft, and ADS-B
capability to detect aircraft so equipped. It's all in one box, with the
data merged onto one screen.

If you haven't already read this article, now would be good time:
