I have the vrx and have been very satisfied so far. The vrx has it's
own altimeter to back up my transponder's altitude, which probably makes all the difference in accuracy. The traffic it reports is usually right on the mark with what ATC reports, and has many times pointed out aircraft I can see and vrx can see, but for some reason ATC can not. It cost more obviously, but probably because it has the technology to do the job right IMO. I think it is a much more professional product overall in terms of accuracy and features.

I've been interested in an extra set of "eyes" ever since what initially appeared to be a bird turned into a mooney faster than you can say Ovation Dx. I can't tell you how many times I've watched planes fly by me without a peep from flight following. Anyone had experience with the SureCheck RX series transponder detectors? I guess I'll have to just buck up and get a mode-s transponder w/MFD. -Brian "Darrel Toepfer" wrote in message .. . FISHnFLY wrote: Has anyone flown with any of these new "portable tcas" devices? I recently got a Monroy ATD-300, which is the lowest price, that gives range and altitude, but have been very disappointed in the performance. My experience is that the altitude and range of aircraft it is reporting are constantly changing drastically. Thats sad news, I've been interested in the purchase of that model, mainly because of its "best deal" pricing as well... |
