Can't find any info on these in the literature. Do I gather that I could now take an audio feed from SD for alerts and connect to my Radio Aux In ? That would be good (even if I did just spend 99E on an audio alarm license from PFLARM last week! Europa farm strip flyer, Bedfordshire, UK

They're coloured white, green or red the same as other traffic targets, based purely on what Flarm tells us to do. It simply gives us a range (which is mostly made up and not reliable) and an "alert level". You may well be able to connect your tablet to your intercom system as a way of getting alert sounds into it.
