PowerFLARM 2.71...WTF?

Implementing the new IGC FLARM encryption somehow broke OLC's old (non-IGC) FLARM validation setup a few days ago...
We are working with OLC to resolve this as soon as possible.

A v3.0 pre-release has been distributed to testers.
Please email us if you would like to be our guinea-pig.
Pre-release is only running for 60 days so testers will have to do another update later.

OLC issues should be resolved, let us know if your files still do not validate properly.

They didn't say which April!

I was going to try out the 2.79 BETA Version but it "expires" June 16th, that's only about 6 weeks from now. I wasn't sure if that would render my PF inop at that time. Does anyone know exactly what "expires" means in this context?

Another broken promise!

OK I have trouble keeping track of this stuff. I need to register my portable and send it in for an upgrade by the end of the month ago that I can avoid paying $100 for that. If I do that will it be automatically updated to the latest software. If so I need to understand more about this expiration business.

Hi Tony,

I'd be glad to talk with you about it anytime if you have questions. What
is not clear? The PowerFLARM Portable hardware upgrade is free and highly
recommended. FLARM is doing their best to make it as painless as possible
with free shipping both ways. It is understandable that they don't want the
upgrade process to stretch on indefinitely.

The software upgrades are very, very easy to do at any time using a microSD
memory card. I recommend upgrading the software to the latest version now,
and with every new software version. The software upgrades are not tied to
the hardware upgrade.

I don't know whether the people doing the hardware upgrade would also
install the latest software. It would be nice of them to do that, but
fortunately it is also easy for you to do at any time.

I also hope they release the IGC approved software very soon. I do know
they are working hard on it and making progress.

Best Regards,

Expires is what Monty Python's parrot does! I am sure the software/firmware does the same.
