Hello, Brian,  

   

Thanks for your update about your Zaon; 2 questions from your e-mail:  

   

1          The Zaon website quotes (re the MRX) “…displays range and relative altitude…” What about relative bearing – or do you have to look all around you (at the specified relative altitude) to find the target?  

   

2          I have been following the Mode S saga quite closely; I am aware of the potential benefits of making sure that any Mode S unit you buy has 1090 mhz extended squitter (so that some day in the future you can link to ADS-B) – but I had not heard of TIS uplink. Can you tell us, please, what that does?  

   

Many thanks,  

   

David

Hi David  

   

If you were lucky enough to be in the US and had Mode S with say a Garmin 430, then on screen 2 of the 430 you would have Traffic courtesy of the Mode S transponder.  

   

It does not work in Europe as the ground based software is not loaded.  I understand Garmin offered Eurocontrol to get it working for them.  On my PA30 my 430 has a traffic screen display but it is dead.  

   

Usual Europe it is all take money off you and insist you spend lots to comply with their requirements – and of course they give nothing back!  

   

Regards  

   

Pete
