Your performance is way better than my Euro Flarm fitted inside the LX 9000.

My problem with the range analysis tool is that it only tells you where you did pick up gliders. It does not tell you about the Flarm equipped gliders which you did not pick up. Did you never get contacts (or gliders) 'suddenly' appear closer than say 2k?

I ran FLARM range files for ~dozen of the contestants I flew with in a contest last year by downloading their IGC contest files. Most had 4-6 km ranges (including mine) except for 2. One was a portable, the other was a Euro Flarm in an LX8000, both had ranges of around 1 km.

If gliders are "suddenly appearing" you might check some of their IGC files (OLC?) and see if that helps to sort out if the problem is their installation and/or yours.
