Has anyone else noticed seemingly reduced FLARM range when they installed the previous firmware? It sure seemed like gliders had to be a lot closer in order to show up on the FLARM after we updated all the club and private gliders in my club earlier this year. We didn't change any of the hardware or the configuration files either. Maybe the newest firmware will get things back to the way they were last year - though they don't say anything in the release notes about range.


I received an email notification today about the new firmware.
I did not notice any reduced flarm range through any firmware upgrade.

I also did not notice any reduced range with new firmware.

Thanks for the responses Richard and Ramy - that rules the firmware out. I'll check the settings and config files next time I'm out at the field. The range is acceptable on the range analysis tool and the alerts function properly it's just seems like the gliders that are farther away don't seem to show up like they used to.
