Being one that has had Flarm alert me to a serious situtation before I'd
like to say thankyou to you Nigel for putting up with all you do and making
this not only avalible to us but also continuing to build and improve the
product. Keep it up and I'm sure some time in the future we won't be
arguing about such a silly topic.
Now let me get back to my Flarm equipped glider so I can relaxe and close my
eyes.

The same could be said for a handheld gps mounted on your leg plenty of
shielding from the Aircraft , depending on the position of sats to the
reciever........ having said that a hand held vhf radio will also fall into
this catagory, infact just about any radio Tx or Rx device will be effected
in loss of signal strenght somewhere.
If the product works straight out of the box and is slapped on your
glareshield with a little dedgredation of signal strength which still is
withing the allowable limits then it has been sold or advertised
correctly, If the owner/pilot is aware that if you want a little bit of
extra signal the buy a external antenna.......same applies to GPS's or
VHF's
Nigel keep up the R+D work.

Ben

What are you going on about Mike? No one said the existing antenna was not
working and it is fine for most installations out of the box which is what
we have used for the last 14 months. In some cases Carbon fibre fuses can
block SOME of the signal, not all of it AND in some cases cross
polarization
has an effect - BUT does not stop the signal, it reduces the range
