Default PowerFLARM antenna separation

I just looked at the latest PF manual and it recommends 5 ft of separation between the PF A (xmit/rec) and B (rec only) flarm antennas. The older antenna installation documentation stated that a minimum of 1 ft was needed.

What gives?

I have the A and B flarm antennas just over a foot apart in the nose of my LS6, wondering if I need to rethink the setup.

Havn't any flight with other PFs around to use the range estimating tool.

My earlier install had the A antenna in the nose cone and the B about 3 ft away on the side of the instrument panel cluster, and it had pretty good numbers for range and coverage.
