It played together well.Â* But I didn't have a current flarmnet file so I
downloaded, converted, and installed the file on the SD card which came
with the device.Â* Now the device won't turn on.Â* I tried with a
different SD card and it did turn on.Â* I've brought the SD cards home
and will try to figure out what went wrong.

I'm very happy with the Flarmview and the manual is available on the
LXNav website.Â* There was also a copy of the user manual on the USB
stick included with the device.

Just a shout out to LXNav...

I just received a Flarmview yesterday and, before picking it up at the
post office, I sat at home with my cable building tools but was unable
to get a cable to test properly.Â* When I opened the Flarmview there
was a flat cable included with an RJ-45 connector on one end and an
RJ-11 on the other, a pretty good start.

At the airport, I opened the panel of my Stemme, found the cable
splitter that I'd installed a couple of years ago to split the signal
from my PowerFlarm portable, one leg to my ClearNav and the other to a
K6-BT to send a Bluetooth signal to my wife's Streak/XCSoar.Â* I
removed one cable from the splitter's output and connected the
Flarmview, powered up and...Â* It worked!Â* So I disabled the Bluetooth
channel in the Streak, pulled the glider out and went flying.

I was so happy seeing a target on the Flarmview before takeoff that I
did not notice that the ClearNav was no longer displaying targets.Â*
Late in the flight I noticed that the ClearNav was not displaying a
lowercase "f", indicating connectivity with the Flarm,
Â*so I thought it might be a setup problem with the Flarmview blocking
the ClearNav.Â* Back at the hangar, I changed the setup on the
Flarmview to make it a slave peripheral.Â* Then I thought to enable the
Flarm channel on the Streak.Â* Yup, I'd removed the wrong cable from
the splitter.Â* The Streak was displaying Flarm traffic. So I swapped
the cables and the "f" popped up on the ClearNav.Â* I'll have to fly it
today and see how it all plays together.

The new LXNav TrafficView has been available for a while now.Â* But
where the heck is the manual?

I know, I know, it is similar enough to the older FlarmView so we can
"just figure things out".Â* But a new expensive product and no manual
available at startup?Â* Really?

One thing we have all noticed is that glider specific avionics
manufacturers seem to think that manuals are an afterthought and
there is no need to update them withÂ* major software releases.
