Default Proxalert R5 proximity alerter

Hi,
Aviation Consumer finally evaluated the Proxalert R5 proximity alerter
and what they say is crystal clear : "It has better performance and
features" than other devices and "The R5 is the easy winner over
Surecheck" trafficscope.

Those interested could buy a copy of the article at
www.aviation-consumer.com"

better yet see what *real* customers say


-- Pasadena, CA 03-Mar-04
Been flying with my Trafficscope for about 2 months, and it has saved
my bacon at least 3 times. The accuracy is amazing. Thanks for
producing such a great product. By the way, I had one of the
Proxalerts... all I can say is don't bother. Very inaccurate. Not sure
who did the ranking, but Trafficscope is much more accurate (and
available). Thanks again.

Apparently people think the proxalert comes up short. Probably the
combination of being a French (not USA) made, and little experience in
collision avoidance.

Apparently you have a short memory. I don't work for them.

One of the reasons I like the guys at surecheck, is because they don't
rely on their friends in publications like ol Berto to sell their
products through such obvious slanted editorials. They instead market
their product by hard work and advertising. That is why you see their
products everywhere, in every tradeshow, and all over the internet.
In the end us as pilots and customers always see through the slanting
and attack "sidebars".

BHelman,

There's a reality-distortion field at work here. Here's what happened:

- AvCon did a report which did not give the Surecheck the top spot
- Surecheck misquoted that report to say that the Surecheck did have
the top spot
- AvCon made that fact public and added their opinion about such
behaviour

What could you possibly slant about these events?

We went through this before. AvCon clearly said in the last paragraph
that surecheck was the better choice.

"the SureCheck TrafficScope is the better choice, in our view. We
think SureCheck deserves kudos for dramatically improving its product
over the previous iteration and we give the company high marks for
much improved customer and technical support."


What is there to misinterpret or misquote?

If it is misquoted, they would take legal action, but obviously it is
not misquoted.

You are wanting to agree (to profit from the Monroy sales correct?)
with berto who WRITES for AvCon, who will always favor Monroy, and who
most likely wrote that "sidebar" / headline, not the editor who
actually did the review and said the above quote. There are 2
different editors, with 2 different agendas I think after talking with
the company.

It seems that this series of "sidebars" is the only "positive" public
ackowledgement or endorsement that the Monroy has going, and it is
shaky and limited at best.
