It's really too bad that the FAA is phasing out TIS. I suspect that almost

Mode S transponder to get the traffic info.

I have TIS. Yes it is a shame that the FAA is phasing it out and the
reaonsing is stupid but intelligence has never been in high supply at
the FAA to begin with. If it were we would have been transitioning
to ADS-B 20 years ago rather than crap technology like TCAS.
