Hi Andy, The limited time of the free upgrade was in the official note that FLARM sent to dealers. Your dealer should have passed that along to you.

Thanks for the update. The dealer has not communicated with me and information about the recall was passed to me by an intermediary. Maybe different vendors have different policy on this. Are you communicating directly with purchasers or through group purchase co-ordinators?

To be technically accurate I think it worth pointing out that the range of a portable that is not subject to out of band interference will be less with the SAW filter, not greater. Introducing the filter adds, depending on the filter, 1-3dB of signal loss. Unless of course the recall modification increases the gain elsewhere in the receive signal path. Does the mod compensate for the filter loss or was it considered insignificant?
