This is interesting but given a quite high percentage of pilots in th US that have ELT's or Spot, I doubt it will have a big impact here.
I, as a customer, would much prefer that Flarm finish the product that they sold to us, and which many have paid for. I will not be buying another one for my other glider until it is complete and fully functional.
I hear of others that have deferred taking delivery because of the incomplete nature of the product and no clear indication when it will be done.
This is not hekping the cause of implementation.
Please Flarm folks, stay on task and finish what you sold us.

Well said Hank. I want to support the PF folks but do not want to be a beta tester or be charged full price for a half baked product. Transponder first and then will consider PF.

PowerFLARM IGC logging is in Beta.

SAR function has been in the product forever
in legacy FLARM and is part of logging function.

It would be nice to finally have an approved logger in PF by spring 2013 ( I "prepaid for my brick in 2010, got hardware this summer, can you believe that it still is not complete?).
