Default Glider near miss with Airliner (emergency climb) near Chicago yesterday?

I had the exact same problem with my LX9000. It is an issue with the LX9000 missing the option to turn off collision alarms for mode C (while retaining the mode C alert functionality). I exchanged few emails with LXNAV and they agreed to provide this option on next firmware update. But will be good if others will report this issue to them as well. I found out that most folks rather discuss instrument issues on RAS instead of the manufacture.
On the same note I should point out that I've been following up both with LXNAV and Flarm on few issues recently, and both have excellent customer support with very timely response. You just need to explain your issue patiently and persistently as the first assumption that all technical supports always have is that the customer did not read the manual and does not understand how to use the unit, but once you get pass that they listen
