Thanks, Richard.

Is it safe to assume that my configuration will be written to the card
or stored in the device?Â* I found that by configuring the device without
a card installed and cycling the power, it reverted to factory
condition.Â* Of course, next time I fly, I'll find out...

So my Flarmview SD card is shot.Â* I recall there were a few folders and

Can anyone tell me what else should be on the SD card and where I can
find it?Â* I've found nothing at the lxnav.com website.

I'm very happy with the Flarmview and the manual is available on the
LXNav website.Â* There was also a copy of the user manual on the USB
stick included with the device.

Just a shout out to LXNav...

I just received a Flarmview yesterday and, before picking it up at
the post office, I sat at home with my cable building tools but was
unable to get a cable to test properly.Â* When I opened the Flarmview
there was a flat cable included with an RJ-45 connector on one end
and an RJ-11 on the other, a pretty good start.

At the airport, I opened the panel of my Stemme, found the cable
splitter that I'd installed a couple of years ago to split the signal
from my PowerFlarm portable, one leg to my ClearNav and the other to
a K6-BT to send a Bluetooth signal to my wife's Streak/XCSoar.Â* I
removed one cable from the splitter's output and connected the
Flarmview, powered up and...Â* It worked!Â* So I disabled the Bluetooth
channel in the Streak, pulled the glider out and went flying.

I was so happy seeing a target on the Flarmview before takeoff that I
did not notice that the ClearNav was no longer displaying targets.
Late in the flight I noticed that the ClearNav was not displaying a
lowercase "f", indicating connectivity with the Flarm,
Â*so I thought it might be a setup problem with the Flarmview blocking
the ClearNav.Â* Back at the hangar, I changed the setup on the
Flarmview to make it a slave peripheral.Â* Then I thought to enable
the Flarm channel on the Streak.Â* Yup, I'd removed the wrong cable
from the splitter.Â* The Streak was displaying Flarm traffic. So I
swapped the cables and the "f" popped up on the ClearNav.Â* I'll have
to fly it today and see how it all plays together.

The new LXNav TrafficView has been available for a while now.Â* But
where the heck is the manual?

I know, I know, it is similar enough to the older FlarmView so we
can "just figure things out".Â* But a new expensive product and no
manual available at startup?Â* Really?

One thing we have all noticed is that glider specific avionics
manufacturers seem to think that manuals are an afterthought and
there is no need to update them withÂ* major software releases.

Dan,

I found that you may have to reset the baud rate on the Flarmview if it is different than the PowerFlarm Cfg file. My FlarmChg.txt was 57600 for the flarmview port, if you put a blank card in the flarmview the baud rate of the flarmview reverts to 19200 which is probably the default of the flarmview.
