An odd thing happened yesterday. Throughout the day, I kept seeing the
same glider, 5D, on my ClearNav, fed by a PowerFlarm portable. As we we
approached the airport, I tried to contact the glider to coordinate our
approaches and got no reply. Finally the glider pilot announced her
intentions and I queried on her position. It was who I thought, having
recognized her voice and call sign. I know she's the original owner of
this glider so I don't understand why the ID was wrong. I just
installed a new FlarmNet database about a week ago.

This has happened once before prompting the recent download. Other
gliders flying out of our home field display with the proper call
signs. Any ideas?

Have them check their flarmcfg.txt file - flarm id - $PFLAC,S,ID,YOUR 6-DIG code; they can find the correct one for their registration at http://www.avionictools.com/icao.php .

Then go to the registration page at FLARMnet to make sure they are the same.

I've seen people borrowing a usb stick to update their flarm, and it also over writes the flarmcfg.txt file; this is very confusing (seeing a Puchacz when the flarm id is an ASW-24..).
