REFLECTOR: slick start and traffic alert system

[SlvEgl99 at aol.com]

I recently purchased and have been using Zaon Flight System's portable  
device. It is passive and reacts to transponders that are responding to other  
queries. Seems to detect well out to 6 miles and shows quadrant and altitude  
differences up to three targets at a time. It shows these targets visually on a  
small screen as well as an aural signal when the target closure might  be a 
problem. Have very few hours with it, so will wait a while to give a  better 
response. It takes very little training, but does require some  experience for 
target interpretation. It sometimes sees aircraft that I can not  locate, so 
assume that means its eyes are better than mine.
 
Have it on top of the panel, and had to move the whiskey compass to the  
right about a foot to make a clear space for it. I plan to have it hard wired  
into the headset system and for power soon. Now am depending on a plug in into  
the lighter terminal.
