Default FLARM to LK8000 with K6 BT2

I tried that with XCSoar without success.Â* I finally bought a second k6
unit and then, using two comm ports on my Android device, was able to
connect both.Â* When I upgraded to ClearNav II, I used RJ45 splitters and
built cables so that I could run XCSoar on the right side of my Stemme
and ClearNav on the left.

There are hardware solutions available, e.g., THIS

or similar.Â* Build your own cables and you should be good to go.

Good luck!

Does anyone know how to set up lk8000 to accept FLARM data via a K6 BT2 box?

I have my vario sending data to LK8000 but can't figure out to get the flarm data. My flarm classic's aux output is connected to the second port on the K6 bt2 box but there are no obvious settings for flarm in LK that I can see.

Ant help is appreciated.

Thanks.
