PowerFlarm and transponders while towing?
Eric,
I'd guess he is using the Proxalert R-5. I've got one and like it. It tracks several and displays the 3 most significant treats along with their squawk code (so you can tell if their are talking to ATC or not). But, the R-5 is much larger than the tiny Zaon MRX - - I had one of those too, and it displays only the most significant single threat like the PF. The additonal functionality of the R-5 is nice, but the MRX gets the job done. I figure I can only dodge one at a time anyway. If there's two coming at me at once, the plan is to wait 'till the last moment, duck, then turn and watch the confusion. I tested the R-5 alongside the PF in the Husky - - about 3 inches apart. Half way through the flight, realized the R-5 was interfering with the PF, so had to toggle power on and off to test and compare PCAS function in both. The PF PCAS works as well as the R-5. In addition, the PF displays discreet info on ADS-B out aircraft, and way out at 32 nm. bumper What are you using for a PCAS now? -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) |
