.. Can anyone comment on performance of
the Proximity Alert R5 unit? I will be flying in the Orlando area again
this winter and have some concern about the high volume of power
traffic in that area.

Ted,

I've been using a R-5 for the past several years with good results. The main
advantage of this unit is that it displays threat aircraft squawk code, so
you can tell if they are talking to ATC (and thus have probably been told
about you) or not.
