You neglect to mention the make / mode of USB to RS232
Serial adapters that you have tried using already.
At work, I've had very good results with an "EasySync" USB
to RS232 Serial adapter that is carried by Dontronics in
Melbourne. I have NOT used it to download from a flight
logger, but
Yes, but I borrowed it, and can't remember who from or the make/model.

EW will sell you one that they say they have tested. It might be worth

Hi Amos
A Drifter is a tandem open rag and wire ultralight aircraft usually powered
by a Rotax 503 2 stroke or similar and can be factory built or home built.
The engine is a pusher type prop so it is essential nothing gets sucked into
the propeller. Flown within their limits they are quite sa
OzFlarm is going to be trialled at the NSW State comps already.

It's going to be trialled at the Multiclass Nationals in Gawler, so
there ought to be lots of people prepared to attest to its merits
within the next few months.

Another thing to think about with these devices is that they all rely on
other transponders replying to either ground based interrogations or TCAS

A solution would be to have the transponders broadcast on the

No, that's a common misconception. FLARM emits a conflict alert when they
get too close *and there is a risk of collision*.

I found it interesting that based on the latter
