Default Flarmnet problems on Flarmview

Hi Karl,

Give me a call sometime. I'll be glad to support you.

Note: You don't need to use the PC FlarmNet converter application. Recent
versions of the FlarmView firmware have a built-in converter. After you
save the FlarmNet .fln file to the microSD memory card, put the card into
the FlarmView 2 and go to the Files menu and select "convert fln to flx" (or
something like that). The conversion takes a few seconds. Doing the
conversion in the unit will have the added side-benefit of verifying that
the microSD card is working OK.

Best Regards,

Yes I left the card in and was seeing all the targets but not seeing the

Thanks Roy I'll give that a try. I had thought of that but given that
the rest of the functions worked figured it wasn't the problem.

Just installed a Flarm Core with a Flarmview2 display. Installed the
Flarmnet file after running it thru the converter required by LXNav
and not getting IDs. My partner also installed the same file on his
Flarmview1 with the same result. Is anyone else having this same
problem?

Karl:
Play with changes in the baud rate. I had the same problem and
finally getting the correct baud rate on flarmview fixed it.
Interestingly, after I did the 2015 software update the same problem
came back - and it was fixed the same way.

Karl, I suspected earlier there was an issue but last weekend I saw all
the tail numbers. I assume you left the micro SD card in, otherwise this
will be the reason as I am pretty sure the micro SD card needs to always
be in to retain configuration and flarmnet data.
