One answer might be:
http://www.spsys.demon.co.uk/softwar...e_Stealthy.exe
Which will report the Stealth State of every IGC file in a folder, with a
few exceptions.
LX7007F,LX7007FC and Colibri 4F do not report the Flarm state in the IGC
file, but the LX7007F (not sure about the others) have a feature whereby
Stealth Mode can be Locked In for N days.
