Hi all two friends of mine are having problems with flarm mice that will not detect targets. They have both tested their installations using another flarm mouse that has been proven to work in flight.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
In my club we have 12 FLARMs (9 gliders, 3 tugs) and there's about another half a dozen private gliders around our club that I do some or all of the maintenance on. We have probably one of every model ever made - Oz/MiniFLARMs, RedBox, Mouse, PowerFlarm etc . We have absolutely no end of trouble with the them. Some will stop transmitting or receiving yet the power on self tests come up, others just don't bother to start up etc etc. I swear that pretty much every weekend I'm chasing up yet another problem with the @*%&^$ things.
Out of the problems encountered, about 30% are due to aerial/GPS connections, 50% are display to FLARM issues (club members mashing on the mode button changing baud rates etc) and the rest just random stuff like hardware failures or software/config corruption. I would put an educated guess that the problem is on your end with the display or cables running to it from the FLARM rather than the hardware of the device itself.
