Firstly, my apologies for twisting your scenario to make this next point! :) Depending on the scenario, an aircraft that's disappeared into a blind spot from 3 miles away can be a bigger potential threat than one even less than 300ft below. Ultimately only the FLARM device has the raw information to make that distinction. If the traffic information given by the FLARM requires further interpretation due to technical limitations, then the procedure for interpreting that information should be described in the dataport specification. It sounds like we've got the situation where a Butterfly device in the front seat of a glider can give a different display to an XCSoar device in the back, even though both are following the specification. If that's the case then the same issue may be occurring with other vendors.
