Ever since loading up the new PF software back in April, the two PF users in my club have been seeing greatly reduced performance (detection range dropped from 5- 8 miles down to about 1 mile) and the flarmnet ID feature no longer works (now we both get something like "94C" for the other glider ID instead of the correct contest number). PCAS and ADS-B range also seems reduced. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Almost as if stealth mode has been enabled by default! And yes, I checked and it's NOT enabled.

Plan is to re-download and install the latest .fw and .bfn files, and double check the FLARMCFG settings.

Frustrating, last year our PFs were working great...

Same flarmcfg.txt file FLARM ID in both would do it; or bad FLARMnet registration.

Dan, I think the hex code for the glider given by the FAA is what is used, so yes if your FLARMcfg.txt file was the same you are telling the unit that is the ID to use and both must be the same.

Kirk, confirming I have the exact same version as yours.
