Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] TECHNICAL ALERT Those of using EWMicrorecorders should be very careful to NEVER plug a FLARM connector into the EW by mistake. The EW has built in reverse polarity protection but the FLARM cable by paralleling pins 1 and 2 and pins 7 and 8 on the connector defeats this. Take care! Damage by this method constitutes misuse and is not covered by warranty. The damage is quite distinctive.
