PowerFLarm expected range

I scanned the manuals but didn't really see what I was looking for (no real shocker there). Perhaps someone else has better answers to a couple of questions.

1. If you have selected the 1 mile range screen is the 1 mile range from the center of the circle to the outer circle or is it 1 mile from the center to the inner circle?

2. If I was on the 1 mile range screen (can't remember now what screen I was on last weekend) and the range to the target I'm looking at is somewhere over 2 miles does the screen revert back to the Butterly page? Perhaps this was the issue... I just needed to go to the 6 mile range screen and perhaps I would have been able to see the other Flarm at a farther distance?

3. Any idea how often the FlarmNet file is updated? I loaded my info about this time last week and when I look at the FlarmNet file the last line in the file begins with 10DEF. It's been this way since I started looking to see if my update might be included. Looking at the file each line should start with an incrementally larger hex value. If this is correct then I wonder when it might get updated.

Thanks...

Take a look at page 10 of the Butterfly display user manual. The illustrations show 8Y at 5.41 km and paint the target between the inner and outer range rings with range set to 6.
