Technically you can still enable it, even outside the UK, although it would not be legal. Also, it has to be disabled you have a Mode-S transponder in your aircraft. Otherwise the ATC will get double targets.
For FLARM (IN):
PS: It uses the UAT radio for FLARM, so you don’t get the weather-releated UAT stuff in the UK if you enable FLARM reception, but you still get ADS-B IN/OUT.
Hum that sounds great.
Have you tried it ?
Now comes the ultimate question to @Sebastian_G
Would it be possible to connect both devices (SKYECHO and ADL) with one sole iPad ? `
PS: when you say “4. Profit ?”, do you mean you find it useless ?
Second question to @Sebastian_G: any interest in integrating FLARM detection ?

Not yet, the weather hasn’t been great the last few weeks, I will let you know when I try it.

No, I think it is definitely useful. We have areas with gliders around here that I cross often and it is nice being able to see them. Or when heading south over Germany and Czech Republic in the summer, there are a lot of gliding activities.
Also, it has to be disabled you have a Mode-S transponder in your aircraft. Otherwise the ATC will get double targets.
Why would ATC get double targets only outside the UK?
Presumably the reason for the double targets is that any receiving system is not capable of merging the two transmissions (Mode S and ADS-B OUT) unless they contain the same 24-bit ID, and this device has no means of transmitting that.
Also I didn’t think ATC anywhere in Europe can see ADS-B.

You did not understand me.
Inside the UK, they would get double targets if you have Mode-S and SkyEcho ADS-B OUT enabled.
Outside of the UK it is simply illegal to turn on ADS-B OUT in the SkyEcho.

It has.
@Peter from here: https://uavionix.com/downloads/skyecho/SkyEcho-2-User-and-Installation-Guide-REV-C.pdf
9.5 Transmit Control
According to UK CAP1391 regulations, transmission must be deactivated when used on an aircraft with an air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) Mode-S transponder.
Also, from the web interface that you use for configuration:
What would interest me is whether someone with this box, and no transponder, would be visible on a certified TAS system like the Avidyne TAS605 which has the ADS-B IN option.

Why not ?
Of course, confirmation will be needed :-)
Certified TAS displays only targets emitting SIL=3 ADS-B OUT
That thread is worth reading whole. We won’t have another one because everybody on there has already said what they wanted to say
