No, let me be clear. ZAON works 100% without issues. PowerFlarm PCAS capability works well for detection of transponder equipped traffic, however it constantly shows some +/- a few feet as a target (my own transponder). That is not a problem as when a real traffic shows up PowerFlarm flips over to the new target. The only irritating thing is the two beeps from time to time to alert me to my own transponder. Let me tell you this sound was designed to alert you so it drives me crazy. Over a 4.5 hour flight I heard it maybe 20 times. It is seldom enough to alert me unnecessary and not often enough to turn it off. During a different flight it was more common.

Full disclosure. I did not upgrade to the latest version (this is one before the latest) as I was turned off by the may not alert you to traffic at the same altitude or a similar statement from Flarm folks.

Had a number of aircraft fly near me today - a military KC135 (I think), a light twin, a Boeing 767 inbound for Tucson and a SWA 737. I saw all of them pass by me within a couple of miles and PowerFlarm never made a peep or displayed anything! This seems quite different form its performance on gliders.

Mike, I flew today in a busy area and I would have to say the PCAS worked Okay, not as good as MRX but I got all warnings I needed to get. If only the thing could stop beeping on my own transponder I would be happy. It seems the display constantly shows me my own transponder with +/- (0 to 50 feet or so). I got used to that the only time it freaks me out is when it beeps twice.



If I understand your post correctly and it is the MRX alerting you to your own transponder, I had that issue as well and it does freak you out. Send the MRX back to ZAON. It has a flaky altitude transducer. They replaced mine for free long after the warranty ran out. Their service is fantastic..
