I don't see 3km mentioned in that FLARM specification.
It specifies that the default horizontal range is 25500 meters for classic FLARM and 65535 meters for PowerFLARM.
Default vertical range is 500 meters for all FLARM device types.

The've updated it! I had version 1.02 on my PC whch is what I looked at
but sent the link to the website one which is v 1.03.

Should have read the version control on page one which says in V1.03
"Changed Classic FLARM default range"


Worth checking that the IGC file reflects the RANGE value as in the doc.
