Make sure you are using the NMEA legacy sentences - legacy set to ON

Glidertracker is not SoftRF! - I know, mentioned it only just to show that when SoftRF is switched on I can see my glider on Glidertracker (or other tracking pages)

You will see Traffic arround you (<5km, direct view) only - That's the reason for my question - I do not see anything, whether in air (tested last few days) or today on the ground where I have a tug and a glider both Flarm equipped in front of me

make sure you have a FLARM in reception range? - that's why I am trying it on the ground today, with Flarm equipped aircraft closer than they would be in air...

I was also pointed at:
https://gitter.im/lyusupov/SoftRF
might be the place to ask as well...

NOT the one originally supplied with TTGO T-Beam board.
I am using the one recommended in the BOM:

Following some discussion on https://gitter.im/lyusupov/SoftRF it would appear that not only NMEA sentences have to be set to "Legacy-ON", but also the "Protocol" has to be set to "Legacy".
It seems that the cause of my problems was me setting "Protocol" to "OGNTP"
This has allowed for OGN tracking to work but not allowed FLARM to send messages to LK8000.

This remains a theory until I am able to test it back at the club... it may take few days :-(

tested it with new settings:



and all is fine!

not quite sure about "Alarm trigger" setting (either Vector or Distance) but I am guessing it only matters for standalone version of SoftRF and when used with LK it makes no difference.
