A licence key scheme for additional features isn't unusual or surprising. What surprises me is that it's being applied to functionality that only seems relevant to FLARM's most basic feature as an electronic conspicuity aid.. If one antenna transmitting in the forward arc with another antenna covering the blind spot is the ideal install, why make it more expensive and more hassle to adopt that configuration?


I was surprised that when mine came, supposedly IGC approved, that it was not calibrated. Paying the extra licence fee and then having to spend another additional charge for calibration would be even worse.
