Yesterday two of us flew after updating our Flarms with the latest software.
We were careful to leave the Config files as they were when we flew
last year.
The Flarm range analyzer showed the range of the latest software to be
only 3 km
while the range of our flights last year were 6 km. Have others
experienced this
same result? If so, is there a fix to get the range back to were it
was under the
previous software?

The Flarm config doc available here
http://flarm.com/wp-content/uploads/...ation-1.03.pdf

Describes the general setting:

RANGE: Sets maximum horizontal distance of received aircraft

I don't know if the config setting for RANGE also applies to Flarm
contact data recorded in the IGC trace. The default for RANGE if you
don't set it is 3Km for Classic Flarm. This limits the range of any
target on external displays.

The IGC trace from a flarm will have recorded the setting for this
parameter, look for something like
LFLA13502607RANGE 3000
