Powerflarm Brick/Core ADSB Range
FWIW...So I got it all installed this weekend (SN10, PowerFLARM Brick/Core, Oudie) with mock-up cardboard antennas and a temporary test installation (no holes yet). I pushed the glider out of the hangar and watched myself ride a powerFLARM portable around the airport on my bicycle (trace recorded at a range of up to .8 miles). Then the fun part, I watched commercial traffic at ranges of up to 100 miles (10+ tracks simultaneously at one point) most at altitudes over 25,000 feet. The Oudie categorized the tracks and displayed them all perfectly. Almost as much fun as flying ;-).
The SN10 seems to have a range of only 5 miles. So its very functional but does not seem to allow long range viewing of airliners ;-(. The SN10's way of displaying the climb rate, altitude, etc is very simple to manage. Thanks all who helped work out the kinks... This is a pretty impressive combination of electronics. Sean F2
