Mike,
I have sent an email to REGA (Swiss Rescue) and also to Flarm asking
them both for more info.
Maybe that will help.

Presumably if you fly with a few friends and all are FLARM equipped and
you
stop getting warnings when from past experience you should have them from
visual observation you will detect the false negatives.
FLARM is electronically _aided_ VFR, see and avoid, not an IFR system.
Nobody is making claims for prevention of 100% of mid airs or close
encounters, just improvement on the human eye/brain detection/perception
system. The collision detection algorithms were developed by using lots of
real flight logs and I'm sure they have been tweaked since.
User experience seems to be positive. People are getting warnings on
traffic they otherwise wouldn't see. Please everyone read the pdf's on the
FLARM site and the forum.
Let's see what Peter Temple has to say about Vinon.
