My understanding is that can be done on the PF's DB9 connector, so the butterfly display can also still be used ...



Your idea is a good one but here is a suggestion if you are using a separate display anyways. The LXNav Flarmview will use the RG45 port on the PF and it has a few advantages over the Butterfly display, such as better audio.. I have not flown with the display yet but just from playing with it in the hangar and watching planes go by in the pattern it works as well if not better than the Butterfly (Flew with that one all last season). Good luck.

Hi - I have just completed an installation of a Power Flarm Core. It is connected to an LX Flarm Color Display via the DB9 connector (for easier wiring) and to an LX7007 Basic via the RG45 port (just the RS232 Tx & Rx lines). After configuration - protocol 4 seems to work OK and sending both GPS and Traffic Data, FLARM data appears on the LX7007 FLARM Radar. I also have a Vertica 2 running LK8000 that is connected to the LX7007 in order to get the Baro pressure, TAS, IAS, wind and heading together with GPS from the Core.. I doubt if ADS-B and ModeC/S traffic will also be passed to the V2 - I haven't tested that yet! Not really necessary with a dedicated display, but it could be done by just feeding the RS232 Tx from the Core to the V2's 2nd port using an RS232 to TTL converter. I believe that the RS232 links only send the NEMA stream, there is no acknowledge or other stuff sent back?
