See ya, Dave "YO electric"


There would be no need for "speculation" if there were "specs"

On the one hand we are told US PowerFLARM is the same as "rest of the
world" PowerFLARM except for IGC recorder approval, but now you seem
to be suggesting that US PowerFLARM has different RF specs from the
"rest of the world" PowerFLARM. Maybe the RF TX power is controlled
according to region as determined by GPS position and the RF sections
are identical?

This is the first I have heard about higher RF power output. Up to
now the only information has been that the receiver is more sensitive
than legacy FLARM.

Now I'm going flying - someone has to pull the rope.
