Thanks, but I know that he's in the FlarmNet database and I still see
his ICAO address on my FlarmView device and on my ClearNav I see the last two characters of the ICAO code.* Really strange...

I've uploaded the appropriate files for the ClearNav and for the Flarmview. The only thing left that I can think of is the Flarm portable.

Someone told me that I also have to load the flarmnet file into my PowerFlarm portable. I tried that today and the device didn't like the SD card. So now I'm trying to duplicate the factory card for the PowerFlarm portable. Anybody out there got a hint? Dan, As far as I know the FLARMNET file does nothing inside a Flarm transceiver device like a core, fusion, mouse, etc. The file is only installed in a device that can display FLARM info. I did recently download the latest FlarmNet file only to find it was empty (0kb). Downloaded again and it was good. But what about a FLARM Portable where it is both a FLARM transceiver device *AND* a FLARM display device? I owned one once but don't remember about this nuance. Good Luck, John (OHM) It's important to note that the flarmnet data is voluntarily entered by users so if a particular user has never registered their contest ID in the database then it won't ever show up on any device. The only way to solve that problem is to convince your friend to register with flarmnet. Of course, if this is a case where it used to show up but no longer does then I'd look to see if their FLARM is still configured with the correct ICAO number - it's pretty easy to fat finger it if a new config file was created between last known working date and now.
