Be careful what you agree to Mal, ADSB is in no way similar or compatible with
flarm.
Flarm uses extremely low power (in the order of 10mW I believe) to work over
distances of a few KM at most.
ADSB mode S is far more power hungry since it is transmitting data almost
continually at ranges
so where can we buy the room to put them in, or do you leave something else out
of the panel, airspeed, altimeter, perhaps a vario.

Mal,
PowerFlarm which seems to be running a year or so
behind schedule will have Flarm and ADSB IN as
well as Mode C/S transponder detection. The Flarm
display will show Flarm and ADSB targets and the
transponder detector gives range (within 5nm on
current PCAS units)and relative
PowerFLARM doesn't appear to provide ADSB Out only ADSB In.

Hello Mal (et al),
That device already exists. Its called a PowerFLARM:

and/or
http://www.lxavionics.co.uk/traffic-monitor.htm
This looks like its just about to go into full production.
Note that its quoted as being able to run for 8 hours on six AA

As far as I can see, powerflarm provides only ADS-B in - that is it does

Guys,
Swift Avionics will be the Australian agent for PowerFlarm.
Will advertise when it's ready to sell.
Cheers

Robert ,
It is my belief that PowerFlarm is also externally powered via
a standard Flarm Port.

Hi all,
Disclaimer: The post below relies mainly on information gathered when I
tried to make a FLARM compatible unit for a student project many moons ago.
It may be totally incorrect now.
I think the biggest problem with FLARM is that it is not an open standard.
It's a great idea but the FLARM
I think the biggest problem with FLARM is that it is not an open standard.
It's a great idea but the FLARM people keep their protocol (the way different
FLARM devices talk to each other over the radio) a secret.
There are two sides to this one aren't there?

Congratulations to Bryan Hayhow on winning the Narromine Cup, well done
mate!
All packed up and everyone's off to the State Comps at Lake Keepit, but it
has been a great week of Soaring at Narromine this year.
Thank you to Paul Mander for running an excellent coaching course during the
week, and
Believe there was a PowerFLARM being tested in GO at the Narromine Cup. It
will be at the Keepit comp too, flown by American pilot Dave Nadler, the fellow
behind the SN-10 software.
I'm building an instrument panel which will have a CAI302, ClearNAV,

G’day All,
A heads up, I’m heading off to JoeyGlide with a spare tow-ball on the 17th,
along with 4 spare seats from ADL! If anyone wants to come along to the JG
presentation party, or wants something taken over to NRM – then please drop me
a line!
go_soaring! instead
