Moff, AFAIK Zaon MRX only detects transponders, but I don't have one so may be wrong.

Peter, Lee would be the best person to respond to your question. My thought would be that it would be the same as a Mode A transponder signal (no height or position), so would have to guess or estimate range/threat. I suspect it would be easier to feed a basic Flarm units output into Pilot Aware, but that would be an extra box to buy.

Pilot Aware could incorporate Flarm traffic, however the encoding for Flarm signals is copyrighted. IIRC Flarm declined to be involved as it would effect their business model.

Sad, but a fact of life.

Gliders? Have you got a Flarm unit connected as well?

I don't regard it as a Micky Mouse system, but lets not make it into something it isn't.

Sorry but I have to question the wisdom of guiding an aircraft autopilot with a 20 quid computer with various low cost additions?

Not quite regular USB. Needs to be a short 20AWG cable as recommended in the known hardware list.

Robski,
When you take into consideration many pilots adversity to landing fees, you can see you are very wrong.

Lee, I thought the license was linked to the LAN MAC addresss?

I am struggling to thing of any good reason why you would want to do this Alan?

Ok, even with buy back the new RF module is not free, but it does work in the role it was intended for.

My first boot with previously built card, but new GPS took a few seconds to get a lock. The second boot took about 5-10 minutes. Both indoors. I guess we were both lucky, though I was expecting a long boot time, so was not surprised.

The GPS dongle also has an LED, assuming you got the recommended kit, which gives a regular green bleat when it has a lock.

If it's still in the kitchen, I suspect your GPS dongle needs to get a better view of the sky, they can sometimes take a while to get a fix.

Colin, are you able to format the SD card OK?

Any of those with the issue,  have PCs deliverd with Win10 installed?

Those that work have upgraded front WIN 7 or 8?

If this runs true then there could be a runtime version on Win 10, that is not replicating an earlier function.
