Default Need Help Configuring Power FLARM Portable

FIXED!

I was able to create a new config file on the Flarm website and, with a
few tweaks, got it working.Â* Flew today and all was well.

Thanks to all who helped.

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.
