Thats great news.

Thanks all.

I actually did ask the people who upgraded my instrument in Germany and they weren't sure - so I took the risk anyway.

(And the obvious question: As to why I hadn't read the manual already? Because I said I imported an aircraft, but of course they didn't actually remember to supply any of the instrument manuals and I hadn't tracked them down on the Internet as yet)

I'll be out tinkering with the aircraft this morning so I'll change the setting, and look forward to testing it with an Australian FLARM unit in the skies sometime soon.

Amazing the stuff you find on that internet thingy, isn't it.

Regards,
 Simon

Subject: [Aus-soaring] European sourced FLARM units - compatible
withAustralian ones?


Hi Nigel,

I have just imported a near new Stemme S10-VT in which I have a (deep
breath, this is a mouthful):

LX 7007 IGC Pro FLARM

i.e. an LX7007 gliding computer with IGC logger and an integrated
FLARM unit.

I've fired it up, its happily booting, GPS running, and indicating
that its transmitting happily.

The question is - are all FLARMs globally on the same frequency -
i.e. will this unit actually work properly with the ones you sell in
Australia?

Sure hope so, but I obviously would love to know for sure; As I've
never seen a distinction in any description of these units, I hope
they work - and in safety terms, for the sake of people bringing non-
Australian gliders into Australian airspace (and vice versa) I
*really* hope so :)

Thanks!
