Hmm, indeed the flarmnet database was broken down by regions before, and now there is only one file, so I wonder if USA is missing...
Maybe it is better not upgrading your butterfly display and flarmnet database until this is figured out.

Reviewing the Dataport spec for the PowerFlarm, the only information about a target is in the $PFLAU and $PFLAA sentences, the 6 digit ID is all that is provided. It seems as though the encryption will make all PDA software obsolete for identifying Flarm equipped gliders (you will see them, but not know who they are). Kinda sucks a little bit. Maybe someone needs to start an unencrypted registry for those with nothing to hide. It was nice knowing who was next to you in a thermal, some demand a little more wariness than others....
