Hi Gang
* This thread prompted me to think as to how the MXR unit ignores my

Explanation anyone or a pointer to where I could find an answer to my
question? Thanks.

Dave RTFM! This is described in the manual. The MRX uses its internal
altimeter to compare to the Mode C altitude tramitted by an
transponder. If the values are close it assumes it is your transponder
it is seeing and supresses the alert. The exact logic/tollerances it
uses however is not described.
