This would explain a lot of the issues with PowerFlarm.
Why? This is the same transmit power used by classic euro FLARMs. More than enough for advertised range.

Maybe you should take a look at this link to see what it was we
thought we were buying!
http://www.gliderpilot.org/FLARM-Comparisons
Note the following - "More powerful radio transmitter as needed for
USA operation"
and "Radio transmitter is not powerful enough for proper operation in
parts of the USA"
and also the comparison of "Double range dual antenna" with "Standard
range"
Also included in the text (What does it do) "The operating range is
very dependent upon the antenna installation in the aircraft. The
range of 'Classic' FLARM is about 2 km, but up to 5 km may be achieved
in individual cases. PowerFLARM will have twice the range. "
