I would guess no on the smaller version as it would require a totally new board design and a new FCC certification.

Surely they are not going to discontinue the powerflarm core support? A 2000+ Dollar item should last more than 10 years. I wouldn't mind some upgrade costs but making us buy a completely new unit , well they would lose a lot of support.

Support will not end. Just no more PowerFlarm Cores will be manufactured. The Core has been replaced by the Fusion.

Craggy will continue to offer Service Provider support for the Powerflarm Core

Couple dumb questions:
1 should I or need I upgrade from full licensed CORE to Fusion? Why?
2 is there an upgrade pricing path from CORE to Fusion?

Thanks Stephen

There is an introductory price of $1526 until Jan 31,2021.

No upgrade path for a PowerFlarm Core.

The Fusion has many new feature including WIFI, enternal range analyzer, connect and cfg with an app on your phone ,etc see brochue for details.

I considered getting one to replace my PowerFlarm portable. My wife
asked what additional benefit it would provide for $1526. Uhhh... I'm
sticking with my portable.

Oh, and I don't tell me that transmitting on the B antenna is worth that
much.

I upgraded to the Core 1.1 because the Flarm website said it can transmit on both antennas.

Color me naïve in my belief that Flarm would be obtaining approval for that capability in North America.

Did upgrading the wife come into the conversation?
