Default LX90xx fln or flx file install for Flarm Contest ID?

Today I updated my ClearNav II and my FlarmView display and still did
not see my friend's contest number, only his ICAO ID.Â* Someone told me
that I also have to load the flarmnet file into my PowerFlarm portable.Â*
I tried that today and the device didn't like the SD card.Â* So now I'm
trying to duplicate the factory card for the PowerFlarm portable.Â*
Anybody out there got a hint?

anywhere on the net and google and duckduckgo searches came up empty

Manual, either.Â* Even on the LXNav site, the search function does not
find "flx2fln.exe".

Ah...Â* But if you search through the downloads you'll find, FlarmNet
Converter Tool and, when you download that, you get fln2flx.exe.Â* A
little better documentation would be in order.Â* I probably won't
update my Flarmview device for a long time or even never but, if I do,
I will have forgotten how to do it.

If of interest, I can forward the file that I used which was

Thank you, I have sent my email address to you at both your mac and
gmail accounts.

You should post this question to the LXNav user Google group.
