Problem With Powerflarm Firmware Update?

Yesterday I updated my PF portable from version 6.60 to 6.67 and went
out for a short flight.Â* I found that Flarm targets were no longer
displayed on my ClearNav II display.Â* It still displayed ADS-B and PCAS
targets but no Flarm targets.Â* The PF portable still showed Flarm
targets.Â* Any ideas?

6.67 works fine for me. Did you have a flarmcfg file on the USB? If you did, it got loaded... start there.

Thanks, I'll check.Â* But what difference would that make since it's the
configuration I've always used?Â* Oh, and my PF portable is loaded by a
micro SD card.Â* Or are you referring to the USB stick that I used to
install the latest data.fln file?Â* Maybe I should roll back to my
previous flarmnet file.

Hi Dan,

If the cfg file is correct, then it isn't any issue. I mentioned this possibility because it's fairly common. Guys put the update on an old USB or SD card that happens to have an old (or someone else's) cfg file on it... and whammo.

If the problem arose immediately after you updated the flarmnet file, then I would wonder about that. I'm not aware of problems here, but "undoing the last action you took" is worth investigating.

Thanks Evan,

Next on my list is to replace the most recent flarmnet file with the
previous one.Â* Maybe the weather will improve tomorrow and I can try it out.

Flarmnet has no impact other than showing the contest number instead of flarm ID. So is the issue that flarm Target was showing up but not recognizable, or not showing at all?
