It is a passive receiver capable of detecting transponder replies from narby aircraft and displaying their proximity in a segmented graphic LED display. There is also a distinctive voice alert in relation to traffic proximity. The range is 5NM for light aircraft and 7 NM for air transport aircraft flying within 1500 feet of vertical separation. The cost is $695 for AOPA members. This is not a TCAS but it appears that there might be some value added to our aircraft and some additional safety alert capability. Question, has anyone seen one of these puppies operate and/or what is your opinion of such a device for us Lancair flyers. I am considering such a device for my airplane. Any comments?
