Hi Frank,

You almost certainly need to install the firmware. If on powerup your
Flarm doesn't show version 1.2 of the firmware, you need to upgrade.

The upgrade process was generally painless.

One tip, when you follow the link to the firmware it will probably try
to display as a text file in your browser. Right click and "Save as"
instead and just save it as the only file on the SD Card. Follow the
instructions from there and you'll be up and running in a couple of
minutes.

I'm seeing all sorts of traffic on the device now where as before it
was occasional Mode S and every now and then ADS-B as a jet went
overhead.

Hi,

PowerFLARM users will be happy to know that a new firmware version has now
been released which enables the display of Mode C transponder traffic on the
PowerFLARM in addition to FLARM and ADS-B traffic. *This is a free upgrade.
Details are available on my web site hehttp://www.cumulus-soaring.com/flarm.htm

Good Soaring,

Paul,

Do you know if this update was installed during the recent refurb
program for portable *units? *I got mine back a few weeks ago.
