So rather than poo-poo any ADS-B solution, why not encourage people like
See-You, Clear Nav, and others to support both platforms and let the
best solution win.

Mike - Believe it or not, we're not "poo-poo"ing your precious Navworx
box. I think what most people are convinced of is that an ADS-B Out
box is not a sufficient solution. They want something that covers a
broad spectrum of signals and is also tuned for glider usage. The
PowerFLARM system fits this well. You are correct - the PowerFLARM
unit has not shipped; but it is being produced by a company that
already has thousands of devices sold & in-use, which lends confidence
in their ability to pull it off. By comparison, what company has
produced and sold a similar number (15,000+) of ADS-B units?

Oh, and I believe SeeYou and many other PDA/Flight-Computers already
support the FLARM protocol. If they support ADS-B systems as well,
great!
