Hello,
At 13.8v the ProXalert R5 device needs only ONE watt compared to
nearly 5 watts for the Trafficscope(c). It displays up to three
threats including squawk, altitude and distance. It also features a
built in altitude alerter.
It will be available mid November. See our Website
www.proxalert.com

It's an interesting unit. The low power is ideal for gliders, but the
lack of a speaker is a problem. We don't use headsets most of the
time, so we'd need to add a speaker with an amplifier to the glider.
The price ($1500) is also quite high for most glider pilots.

A web site suggestion: this text blinks in a very annoying fashion
when I use Netscape 7.0 --

"World first affordable aircraft proximity alerter
displaying threat aircraft altitude, distance and squawk !"

I'd suggest removing the blink code from the html text. For some
reason, the blink code doesn't make it blink in IE 6. The menus also
seem to load very slowly in both browsers.
