Default Need Help Configuring Power FLARM Portable

You've read on another thread that, since updating the firmware in my PF
Portable and updating the FlarmNet data file in my ClearNav II, I've not
been receiving Flarm targets on the ClearNav or on my wife's Streak.

Yesterday, full of hope, I downloaded and installed the just released
FlarmNet file (data.fln).Â* No joy!

The next easiest thing to try would be to roll back the PowerFlarm
firmware from 6.67 to 6.60 but I suspect that that won't work.Â* I would
expect a message telling me that I have a newer version installed.

So I figured I'd try to reset the configuration of the Flarm.Â* I went to
Flarm.com and started the Configuration Tool.Â* One of the earliest
questions asked was for the serial number of my unit and, when I entered
that, I got an error stating that the serial number was invalid!Â* True,
I did not have the unit with me at home to check, but I do have the SD
card and it looks to me like the serial number is either 960 or 000960.Â*
I entered both and got errors.Â* My PFP00960.txt file is here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/typrd4dz1a4g69t/PFP00960.TXT?dl=0 to be
looked at for any advice.Â* I'm out of ideas.
