FLARM vs ADS-B XCSoar
Your transponder doesn't receive/display ADS-B. You need an ADS-B
receiver for that. Flarm receives Flarm, ADS-B, and PCAS targets and
displays them on its own screen or a connected display in the case of
the brick. Using Bluetooth, you can have all of the above displayed on
your XCSoar device, I think. The XCSoar may only display Flarm
targets. Next time I fly, I'll extend the Flarm's range so I can see
some airliners and see if they're displayed in XCSoar.

I'm a newer pilot, recently solo. I purchased a Russian AC-4C with TRIG transponder already installed.
I know I can purchase a Power FLARM for around $1,500 and have it display FLARM and ADS-B traffic on my Tablet with XCSoar.
Is there a way to have the ADS-B and other traffic appear on the XCSoar display?

Hi John, If you send the data stream from the flarm to your device
running XCSoar it will display FLARM and ADS-B traffic on the moving map
or on the radar screen.

Luke,
Thanks, but I don't have a FLARM and just wanted to display any traffic from the Transponder.
I could drop $1500 on a Flarm but the ADS-B seems to be the future.
