Hi Andy (and others),

I got one of these units yesterday from Mike Carris. Have only done a little testing so far. However, current observations:
1. Can be seen by PowerFlarms and yes they do warn you if one of these gets too close
2. Can see other PowerFlarms
2. As Mike and others have said, it works with XCSoar
3. Have gotten it to connect via Bluetooth LE (BLE) to iSoar which seems to process the PF sentences just as it does from other devices
..

Does this device do do collision warning, like PowerFlarm, or only proximity
warning, like the ADS-B targets on PowerFlarm?

Eric,

The selections for alarm triggers in the setup menue are below. Have not tried the Vector warning yet.

Mike

................

Alarm trigger:

None - do not issue any alarms ;

Distance - issue a NMEA ($PFLAA) alarm sentence when traffic is in close
proximity ;

Vector - issue a NMEA ($PFLAA) alarm sentence when traffic is short on intersecting course.
