As far as I have understood and experienced:

Powerflarm dedicated to Australia will work in Australia (we have two
gliders to confirm)
but when dedicated to Europe will NOT work in Australia (we can confirm
that also :-( ).

LX integrated flarm will automatically change to Australian frequency
when they find themselves in Australia.
We also have experienced this.
Encryption will not change this as it is automatically.

Also I thought GFA is looking into this matter as it will have
consequences for the WGC Junior competition in Narromine and the WGC in
Benalla.
