1 - it is necessary for a reader to distinguish the difference between statement "compatible" and statement "fully compatible".
SoftRF implements only a reasonable minimum of the protocols specs. No "bells and whistles" so far.
2 - FANET+ can not receive FLARM. However it is able to transmit it.
3 - valid for Prime Mark II and Dongle Editions; valid for Standalone and UAV Editions with optional DIY SoftRF LoRa RF module
4 - Reception of traffic 'downlink' frames only. Valid for Standalone Edition with optional DIY SoftRF UAT module
5 - also known as "raw ADS-B"
