Ramy - What display are you using? I have the "rectangular" display

mounted on a gooseneck just in front of my panel and find it to be

plenty loud (even at 85+ knots).

I have the rectangular display. Not sure if the beep just not loud enough or too short to catch the attention. Perhaps I am not used to it yet, but was wondering what others are thinking, and if there is different between the various displays.

Ramy, I too have the rectangular display and only get a single short unsatisfying chirp for a PCAS alert. Useless!

Thanks Jim. I wonder if there is a place where we can post feedback for the Powerflarm folks? Last I checked the forum on their web site was not working yet. Anyone listens? Dave?

I have the rectangular display. I have observed/heard a couple of
alerts for helicopters flying low over my house. The number of beeps
seems to depend on the treat level. The volume, at maximum, seems to
be far too low to useful in a glider cockpit.

There is a hole in the display close to the function knob. I thought
that this was the exit hole for the speaker but the alerter is no
quieter when that hole is covered.

In contrast my ZAON PCAS is so loud I have to tape over the alerter
hole when I use it in the glider. For equipment of this cost I would
expect the volume to be adequate and also to be automatically
compensated for the ambient noise level, either based on measured
noise level or ground speed.

No one else has commented on this yet, but my display has horrible
light leaks along the entire top and bottom edges of the display.
