FLARM and PCAS/ADS-B antenna connectors (SMA)
US/Australia devices (part No. FLAPFCnnA and FLAPFDnnA):
FLARM
A and B are reverse polarity female SMA connectors with a pin as
center conductor. ADS-B is a standard female SMA connector with a
female center sleeve.
European devices (part No. FLAPFCnnE and FLAPFDnnE):
FLARM A
and B ports are standard female SMA connectors with a female
centre sleeve. ADS-B is a reverse polarity female SM connector with
a pin as a centre conductor.
Never swap the FLARM and PCAS/ADS-B antennas. Doing so
may cause permanent mechanical damage to the device and
will void warranty.
The difference between US/Australia and European devices is due
to regulatory requirements.
Both FLARM and the ADS-B antennas must be mounted vertically
(i.e., one tip facing up, the other one down).
