Mike - Weren't you just debating about flying out of range of ground
stations, when talking about transponders? ADS-B from ground stations
falls into the same category.

In close proximity, I would expect ADS-B Out from another aircraft to
trigger my powerFLARM (ADS-B In) solution directly; no need for a
ground station relay!

If the other traffic is equipped with ADS-B UAT (the FAA recommendation
for GA), and you our not within range of a ground station, PowerFLARM
will not see him.
