I expect a fair amount of sincere rationalizing between now and broad Flarm=

as many of my soaring friends to voluntarily adopt Flarm as I can. 100% ado=

Is Flarm still a closed (secret) protocol on the transmitted signal? If
it is, opening it up for others to implement it (if desired), and to make
the standard public, might go a long way to acceptance by removing the
monopoly of the manufacturer.
