Flarm in the US this summer

Hi, Aldo,

Thanks for posting this. I checked the site for details (
http://www.powerflarm.com/details.html ), and ran it though Babelfish
so I could get the gist of it. It does seem to claim to only detect
Mode S, as you say. I'd think that this means that it's parsing
extended squitter position information only, and not parsing TIS-B
(Traffic Information Service - Broadcast), because then they'd also
get Mode C transponder data. Unfortunately, where I fly I'd need TIS-B
to see all the General Aviation aircraft, so for now I'll stick to a
transponder and PCAS.

Zaon is not involved, AFAIK, but you're looking for what's called a
"PowerFlarm". You can upgrade your existing Flarm unit with a
"bluebox" and a display, or buy the PowerFlarm.
I suspect it only works with ModeS xpdrs, not mode a/c.
