FLARM is a highly flawed product and I won't have it in my
aircraft.

Interesting post Mike but I'm glad you don't fly in the same
airspace as me! Perhaps you should fit Flarm, try it for a
season, then post your conclusions? I've yet to meet anyone
who purposefully removed a Flarm; it may not be perfect but
it's a LOT better than nothing.
You might also ask yourself why the French mandate Flarm?
