Default FLARM Fusion Range

Hi Darryl,

Here is a link to the pix. Sadly they are TIFFs: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dhe9415hd...5VFoQ9eMa?dl=0
Yes, I am talking FLARM A, and B. ADS-B is dead center up high under the glare shield and seems to be working fine. you can find a recent FAA report there as well.

Hi guys,

I just installed a FLARM Fusion and am getting some very poor results. The antennas are installed symmetrically on either side of the canopy rail (see photographs) in an ASW27b. They clip into a plastic adaptor printed from ABS, and each antenna has a clear 180 degree view out the side of the canopy. This seems to me like a pretty ideal setup to avoid the carbon in the cockpit, etc. Can anyone help me understand why the range is not better, and in particular, why the range is better on one antenna vs the other? that makes no sense to me.

Thanks,

Matt Herron

You can't past images to Google groups, or USENET like this. Can you share the image somewhere, like Google Drive and provide a link to them (and in jpg not TIFF?).

And to be clear you are talking FLARM A and FLARM B antennas? Where is your 1090 MHz antenna?
