Not all PowerFLARM actually receive 1090ES, most (all?) sold in the USA

the USA, I'm not sure if any sales actually happened (it's a very bad
idea IMNSO becasue of 1090ES Out/possible future TABS compatibility).
Craggyaero has them on their website, at a very substantial discount. I
hate to see that too, but expect people buy them.
More common is probably turning off the TCAS type of alerts since the
proximity alarms get annoying.

I see one mention of "Core Pure" on one page at Craggy and a price but nowhere to actually buy one. I'm hoping it really is not for sale. Richard???
Likewise there is scattered mention of Core Pure on the Cumulus Soaring Web site but no "Pure" device listed for actual sale.
For reasons that now should be cleaner with ADS-B/1090ES Out adoption and possible TABS futures, glider pilots/owners in the USA really should want to have a 1090ES capable receiver in their PowerFLARM.
