Hi Simon,
Let us know when you sort it out. Are the hardware/firmware versions
the same on the good and bad units. Do the display units and the
Flarm units need configuring for baudrates to match?
Intermittent failures or stuff which checks out but doesn't work are
engineering Hell.

Hi all two friends of mine are having problems with flarm mice that
will not detect targets. They have both tested their installations
using another flarm mouse that has been proven to work in flight.
One friend recently sent his unit back to the Australian agent
telling them the specific problems he was having. The unit was
returned some time later after apparently being tested. After
reinstalling the unit it was still not picking up targets.
The agents have been blaming everything except the unit for the
failure to detect targets. This weekend we proved the installation
in both gliders. Targets were detected when the known good flarm
mouse was installed using the same wiring and in both cases an
aftermarket antenna (the factory one proved inadequate even on the
working unit). Immediately afterwards and without change the faulty
units were reinstalled and no targets were detected. All three units
were running the same firmware version 6.09 and all settings were the same.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
Cheers
Simon
