Default Flarm firware update tries produce "Synchronization Failed" message.

Do all the previous updates need to be put into the portable FLARM too? My unit shows 6.09 on startup, but only shows transponders, no FLARM targets. I may have taken it back to zero updates while trying to get 6.09 in. I hate this digital crap!

If 6.09 shows, you should be good. Did you re-install your flarmcfg.txt file after the firmware update? Something may have gone astray when the old one was replaced.

The other possibility, since pcas/transponders show and flarm doesn't, is that your flarm antenna may have a problem. I'd unscrew and screw it back in and see if that works.
