Was this due to poor range; i.e., PowerFlarm did not receive the signal
from the other glider until it got too close to give a quicker warning?

I would guess that if you are thermalling with another glider that might
become a threat, that would be well within receiving range, and the
short warning time was due to poor threat determination, rather than
poor signal detection.
