Hi,
Very quick question: The FTDI USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT-0.0 from RS is listed in the following configurations-- No Volts, 3v or 5V. Which one is used for FLARM to PAW and possibly PAW to a transponder.

Peter,
Many thanks for the info. I've now changed configured it as per your instructions, all I need now is good weather and time to try it out.
I mentioned a partial upgrade to Rosetta, what I really meant was I didn't get a brand new unit, I got the new case and the bridge with a few other bits last year and have only had chance to use it a few times so obviously I made some errors in upgrading.
Once again, many thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. I've dismantled the unit and the RF looks good and solid. (PAW5.jpg)
PAW4.jpg shows a previous flight (19/07/2020) that shows MLAT and Flarm all the way around but not PAW. I fly from USK gliding club and on this flight I picked up the tugs transponder but NOT the gliders Flarm other than on my Flarm unit, in other words I seen the glider visually and on my Flarm but it didn't show up on PAW/SD.
One of the checks I've done was on my way home, I parked outside PWSHIREN ground station with the unit running, it didn't show up on SD.
Testing is difficult at the moment because not many aircraft about in my area.

Lee,
See attachments. I have based my previous assumptions on analyzing the screen captures below.
PAW3.jpg shows the captured traces on Aircrew on the specific dates, it shows results for 'ALL' , 'Flarm' and 'MLAT' but NOT PAW.
PAW2.jpg is a screen capture of the in-flight 'HOME' screen.
The aircraft has a Flarm unit and a Transponder (as seen in PAW3.jpg).
I have also recently replaced the power supply with the recommended Anker 13000.

Hi,
PAW is not picking up PI only aircraft, it does pick up Flarm, ADS-B and MLAT. I've tried it next to a Ground Station (literally) and when the 'Display Ground Station' is enabled it doesn't show that either!
I'm suspecting the Bridge is faulty but cannot see on your site where I can buy a new one. I upgraded from a Classic last year but went the partial upgrade route so I am still using the original Classic bridge.

Smart move 
I upgraded a while ago.
PAW gave me the heads-up on this encounter in plenty of time.

Hi,
Thanks for that, now I see it. It was just like opening my Christmas present when I was a boy... dive in and retrieve the toy and throw away the paper before reading the label ;-)

Hi,
I received the DIY upgrade package today but cannot find the instructions document, can I download this? I can find the operating instructions in the Download section.

Blackadder,
Why bother with a speaker? Search e-bay for these two items then add a lead from PAW to the headphone jacks...job done
E-bay items:
371393836684

To connect the PilotAware to the headphones you can use the following items from Ebay:
371393836684 6.35mm ¼” Plug to 2x Socket Adapter
370613642151 6.35mm ¼ Mono Plug To 3.5mm Stereo Jack Adapter
132310713345 3.5mm Jack Male to Male Audio Stereo Aux Coil Cable Cord
Works great in my setup and not expensive either.
Very Important Note:
If you are receiving RT on the radio and you get an audio warning, the little lady in PilotAware will talk right over your conversation! (very rude.. no manners at all) and vice-versa. This means if you are getting a warning it will be trashed by any RT that may be broadcasting.

Lee,
Thanks for your ideas. I've now taken the GPS dongle outside of the case, this has given more room for the WiFi Dongle to sit square in the USB port, I think this may have been the problem.
I've tested at home today and had it running for 4 hours without any issues so lets hope this fixes the problem.

Lee,
Any update on the following:
#2. Disconnect from gps device. I had to re-select goflying.
Version: 20180129
kernel = 4.9.35-v7+
I was using pilotaware connection method in skydemon.

Chris,
The following may answer part of your question:
http://wiki.glidernet.org/opt-in-opt-out states the following:
To clarify:
You can either use your internal (factory) FLARM ID (which is based on the serial number of your FLARM unit) or your ICAO address (if your aircraft has such assigned). In either case enter the ID you use into the OGN Devices Database.
When entering the details on the OGN database you can determine what others can see (ie. just the hex or full tail number)
I've registered our aircraft as:
Device ID Aircraft type Regist. CN
401FF5 RF 5 G-BJXK JXK
I'm not aware of a G-Info type lookup.
