Well, I can report that the PowerFlarm core fails to warn me of commercial traffic most of the time. In the past week, I have been within distances of concern to a Boeing 737 and a Canadair Regional jet - they descend over our gliderport into Tucson International. My transponder seems to work, though - both these aircraft took evasive action to avoid me. The Canadair was at my altitude and had to make a very steep turn away from me. Not a peep from the Flarm!

Mike - you have either installation or configuration problems. I have an original brick, and I see every airliner, towplane, glider with transponder, and GA with transponder nearby - we're under the most-used approach path for a major Canadian airport, and see traffic all day, every day. I use the standard centre-fed dipole that came with my brick. Try swapping with a known good antenna and see if the problem is cured...

Dan:

I was coming to the same conclusion and will review my installation!
