Default Any pireps for PCAS MRX collision avoidance system?

JJ

I agree, that's the way it should work. I'm not real
familiar with TCAS. How did he detect you? PCAS is
strictly passive as I understand it. Did you have
a transponder on board?

through 10,000 on
the west side of the Pinenuts. About 3 minutes later
the twin said,
Jay Jay, I have you on my TCAS and just got a visual
on you about 500

that, I have you
on my PCAS and just got a visual on you also. We both

was the way its supposed to work.

Some have commented that the lack of bearing info
is a limitation,
others not so much.

Anyone with lots of experience using this unit or
similar, thoughts?

Thanks!
