The key lies in how they blank the receiver. Since there is no
connection to your own transponder, I think they simply blank for time
X when they get a signal of over Y watts. If they do, that will
produce the situation I described above.

Multiple radars will change the situation, but I believe there will be
blind spots there, too. I think you'll have multiple blind cylinders,
each pointing at the various radar sources.

And you're correct, it isn't what Zaon shows in the manual. It would
definitely be best to talk with them directly about happens in this
situation.

Eroc, I know I won't get any time this week to call them. Could you do
it, and post the results?

This seems like a plausible analysis, but it's not what Zaon shows in

your aircraft. A query to Zaon should be the next step, as it might get
an explanation of how their units deal with this situation.

There is a situation that elimanates this problem: multiple radars. This
could be a TCAS equipped airplane or another ATC ground radar.
