Default Flarm in the US

Let's take a real life example. Last year I flew in Sports Nationals
in Elmira. I had PCAS with me. The first day after I released and
started climbing with a bunch of other gliders many of them equipped
with transponders I had to switch my PCAS off because of the quantity
of warnings. It was useless in that scenario.

Now, isn't a PowerFlarm unit a FLARM and PCAS in one box? Can I switch
off PCAS while leaving FLARM on when I am in a thermal with a bunch of
transponder equipped gliders so I don't get overwhelmed by warnings.
Once on task I could turn PCAS back on but in a congested thermal I
may not want to see it on.

Anyone knows how this situation would be handled by PowerFlarm?
