An AMU is an Aviation Monetary Unit. 1 AMU = $1000. Expressing the
money we spend on our expensive hobby as an AMU insead of saying
thousands of dollars is a way of hiding from the better half how much
flying these things really costs... Also, saying AMU just sounds
cheaper... Just in case she too happens to be reading these newgroups...

Has anyone used any of the passive traffic alert systems that are out on
the market today? I saw this one on AircraftSpruce sight .4 AMU's
instead of the usual .8 AMU's. I did some searching and found out that
this particular model is discontinued hense the half-price sticker.

Has any of you flown with this kind of device and how do you think it
does for spotting traffic I flew with a guy last year that had this
exact model in his 182 and it seemed to work well.

Here is a link to the specs:
