The powerflarm alarm would sound and a second or two later the near
miss would occur. The range was unacceptably poor...

Don,

Were you using the "optional" small panel antenna? This is the flat
black, about 1" X 4" receive antenna that should be mounted vertically
and a couple of feet away from the PowerFlarm. This is intended to
increase the PF effective range and is included with the portable.

thanks,

bumper


No. I was using the antennas mounted to the rear of the portable unit. It is not easy to find a spot a couple of feet away from the panel which will not have some kind of carbon fiber blockage of the antenna.

Don
