I sent my ZAON MRX, back for a fix, about 2 weeks ago.
Nothing yet. A local electronic whiz made me a choke
to place in the power supply leads, but I haven't tried
it because I don't have the unit. My PCAS was hitting
all the low frequencies hard, so I believe it is sending
the interfrence back down the 12v leads. OK, on internal
3v pen cells.
I'll post when I get it back from ZAON Looks like a
neat unit. I live near Hwy. 50 which has a lot of IFR
traffic (I follow roads) and I have watched traffic
march down from 5 miles to 1 mile where I get 2 beeps,
then 4 beebs inside 1 mile. All this with an altitude
difference read-out (+800)................just what
we want to know.

The other night, I was playing with it and Pat asked,
'what's that beeping'. I replied, can't talk right
now, I'm in a hard turn looking for someone inside
a mile at +400 feet and closing fast!
Cheers,
JJ

if I use PCAS internal pen-cels. Anybody else had
this
problem, how'd you fix it?

Which Zaon unit was it? I just wired in a Zaon MRX,
but didn't think to
test the radio. Tomorrow!
