PowerFLARM, LX7007 Pro IGC and a PDA ... how to ...

Hi Ted,

I'm pretty sure, but not certain, that the LX7007 Pro IGC can receive FLARM
data on the PC serial port. I recommend asking LX Navigation about it.

I know for a fact the LXNAV LX8000 and LX9000 products can received FLARM
data on the PC serial port. I have tested it.

You could have the Brick send data to the LX7007 on one of the serial ports
and to the Oudie on the other serial port.

I don't think it's possible to have the LX7007 both receive FLARM data and
output vario and other data for the Oudie.

I think the best approach may be to use a K6 Mux to receive both LX7007 data
and FLARM data and send it all to the Oudie. That is what I would do. I
can help you with the cables and K6 Mux is you go this route.

Best Regards,

I'm finally getting around to installing my PowerFLARM (brick) and I need
some help getting pointed in the right direction.

I have an LX7007 Pro IGC, but my unit does *not* have the RJ45 receptacle on
the back where it says "FLARM".

I have an HP4700x PDA that I plan to replace with an Oudie soon.

So my question boils down to, is it possible to connect the PF to the LX7007
(using some means other than its RJ45 connector), so that a PDA connected to
the LX7007 is also receiving PF data?

I was planning to have my Oudie connected to my LX7007 so that it receives
its pressure data sentences, which I'll lose if I connect the Oudie to the
PF instead.

I'm suspecting that my best option is a completely independent PF
installation, in which case it would be a shame to lose PF
warning/tracking/alert data on the moving maps.

Advance thanks,

2NO
