Does anyone care that the flarm vertical range has been reduced to 500 meters in the new firmware version. Why would the vertical range for ADS-b, and PCAS be more or less unlimited and configurable and the PowerFlarm be limited to 500 meters.

I second all the comments and kudos.
But please try to figure out a way to increase the vertical range and make it configurable. the 500m vertical limit, while more than enough for collision avoidance, significantly hinder the buddy flying capability that many of us were hoping to utilize.
