Default Build your own PowerFLARM!

PowerFlarm is ADS-B In only. It only transmits FLARM, which jets can't
see. By itself it does absolutely nothing to protect us against
mid-airs against jets.

except that it will tell you the jet near you before you mid-air if I
understand correctly
"transponder PCAS annunciation."

Unless you are transmitting ADS-B Out, all you get is a warning that
someone is near you at your altitude. You get altitude and distance,
but not a clue of which direction they are coming from. The jet and his
TCAS doesn't see you at all.
