Good one! But more seriously, all of these boards/products
have been in

For example the GPS active antenna might be at fault? Or
too close to

It seems highly unlikely that once they replaced the main
board, there

your

problem.
I can't swear that the cable is not the fault, but before the first

bother to

I ordered a Flarm very early, before they were even released.
I supported

are not even

be

will have

equivalent

Blake, Is the Flarm set to 19200 baud and also the Oudie? I
might call Paul Remde at Cumulus or Richard at Craggy for
other ideas. D
