Default New PowerFLARM firmware 6.40

The FCC readily grants waivers for this type of situation. This is the perfect scenario for a waiver: There is a direct safety benefit and no realistic concern regarding interference with other devices. Hopefully, that's in the works.

@Steve Koerner, re why not in NA. I posed the question to my dealer in Canada (Solaire) who passed it to the company. Answer this morning, in an e-mail from the General Manager of FLARM, to my dealer:
"The limitation in NA is because of FCC regulations for radio transmitters."
Canadian regulations are close to those of the FCC.
