Having flown with the ZAON MRX for 2 seasons I find that alerting to
be useful. Certainly much more useful than "absolutely nothing to
protect us ".

As mentioned previously PowerFLRAM has the opportunity to be a big
improvement over the MRX if they include target specific alert
suppression. (let me mute the gliders I am thermalling with and still
be alerted to the B737 or King Air that is about to mow us all down)
