Hi Dave, I've watched all three of your videos on Flarm Fusion. Thanks for making the effort, I'm sure many pilots will need thay information and will find it useful. One question: in 3:10 you make the statement that the Antenna B is for reception only. Where do you find that information in the User or Installation Manual? From what I can read it only speaks about 'Antenna diversity'. Are you sure you are right?
Sorry, for the late reply, I wanted to make sure I had the correct answer so I spoke with the folks at Flarm about it. For the North American FCC approval of the Core and Portable units, the B antenna is receive only. The European Core and Portable can both receive and transmit on the B antenna. For the Fusion FCC approval the B antenna is both receive and transmit. So something that is easy to confuse as the function changed with the continent and then introduction of the Fusion.
Can an iPhone be used as a device for viewing like i currently use a flarmview? Would like a bigger screen and the fusion shows i can connect via wifi to an apple product.
The Flarm hub has a traffic monitor that can be displayed in a browser via the wifi. See timestamp 10:51 in this video: ua-cam.com/video/be47IjDV740/v-deo.html The problem is if you read the disclaimer at the top of that page that it gives no collision warnings and is not suggested for in flight use. If you use Naviter Navigator on your iphone, it is capable of displaying (or soon will be) of displaying flarm targets. Unfortunately, Apple products are not good for soaring but if you use and Android and install XC Soar that will give you flarm over the moving map and warnings.
