Default 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.

What are you using for a PCAS now?
