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

Subject: Europa-List: Zaon and Mode S
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
G-BZAM
