The interesting item in the release notes is this:

PowerFLARM: Fully symmetric antenna diversity, dynamic receive and transmit on
both antennas (except USA and Canada)

I'd assumed that the hardware didn't support transmit on the secondary radio antenna. Apparently it does (at least outside USA, Canada). I wonder if that update will ever come to the USA as well?


Ask the vendor who sold you your FLARM to ask why and press for it here in North America. It may change something in the FCC (you) or Industry Canada (me) testing/approval; the more who ask for it, the greater the likelihood of us getting it.
