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 III**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Prime-Edition-MkIII) , [**Prime Mark II**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Prime-Edition-MkII) , [**Dongle**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Dongle-Edition) , [**Mini**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Mini-Edition) , [**Badge**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Badge-Edition) , [**Bracelet**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Bracelet-Edition) , [**Academy**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Academy-Edition) , [**Octave**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Octave-Concept) , [**Lego**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Lego-Edition) , [**Balkan**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Balkan-Edition) and [**Midi**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Midi-Edition) **Editions**; valid for [**Standalone**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Standalone-Edition) , [**UAV**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/UAV-Edition) and [**Uni**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Uni-Edition) **Editions** with optional DIY [SoftRF LoRa RF module](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/SoftRF-LoRa-module)


4 - [**Reception**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Uni-Edition#ads-b-out-remark) of traffic 'downlink' frames only. Valid for [**Uni Edition**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Uni-Edition) alone and for [**Standalone Edition**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Standalone-Edition) with optional DIY [SoftRF UAT module](https://github.com/lyusupov/UAT-test-signal#variant-2-advanced)


5 - Reception of traffic 'downlink' frames only. Valid for [**ES Edition**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/ES-Edition)


6 - APRS is the only available with [**Ham Edition**](https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/wiki/Ham-Edition)


7 - also known as "raw ADS-B"
