Does anyone have any experience with the Avidyne TAS600 traffic
alerting system?

I have a variant of the system in my birdie (Ryan 9900BX + Avidyne
EX500, now jointly known as the Avidyne TAS620). Overall, it's a
comfortable, good system, with lots of safety/SA data (weather XM
and/or OrbComm, excellent traffic, topography mapping, radar) all
overlaid nicely. The TAS600 imposes some traffic display range limits
in exchange for a lower price, but is otherwise the same.

I have had some quibbles with Avidyne about baffling web service
policies toward people without XM weather subscription, and have had
an unprovoked out-of-warranty traffic sensor failure (1 AMU) recently.
Other than these, it's been satisfactory.

What about false alarms. Do you get a lot of those?
