Default Flarm

The announced range is 1-3 km, but the alarm/display filters whatever is not
within 18 seconds of an impact. You won't see any ship sensibly higher or
lower, or not sensibly converging ... so you couldn't really use it "at your
advantage" unless you build your own FLARM-compatible receiver !

The range of FLARM is very limited, so FLARM won't show any glider
that you copuld not see with your own eyes.
