PF Portable PCAS performance
Andy,
The Portable PF actually worked reasonably well. I also did a side-by-side test with the portable and with a ProxAlert R5 PCAS. The R5 worked WAY better, that is until I turned off the R5 right after it acquired a target that the PF had not seen. Then the PF acquired too and at about the same range. Seems the R-5 was interfereing with the PF when co-located just a few inches away on my Husky's glareshield.
The brick's PCAS range is another issue. I've flown with mine several times but not a lot of other traffic. Still, range doesn't "seem" to be as good as on the portable. Flarm range looks to be better than the portable, but that could well be due to the more effecient dipole antennas and their location in my ASH26E's note (copied Rex Mayes' install).
