I can only go on what the Europeans have said .... but it looks like they
get a warning on the Flarm and actually find another Glider where the Flarm
indicates it would be. That's a pretty good test I reckon.
It looks like some were already aware of the other ship in their vicinity
but others got the warning before they saw the other Glider.
Sounds good doesn't it ... and they report 5 - 18 seconds of warning.
Wouldn't that be invaluable in a head-on situation?

Most of the issues, and other signal generators, that you have raised

that they get reliable warnings without spurious alarms.
How do they know the warnings are reliable?
