It does not fit anywhere. As discussed on r.a.s. many times in the past..

It is a UAT Out device. Invisible to PowerFLARM, invisible to TCAS.

And most importantly, It's not a transponder.... which the bulk of this conversation should be focused on.


Seems a little harsh. It clearly states it's for use in conjunction
with a Mode C transponder. That will work fine with TCAS, and will give
PCAS type warnings on PF. If Tom already has Mode C, then it would be a
low cost option for making him more visible, and adding dual-band ADS-B
in at the same time.

That's exactly my case. I have the Microair T2000SFL and am willing to move toward ADS-B, without spending more than necessary, with the expected benefit of seeing and being seen electronically. At moments it sounds in the discussion here like one-sided visibility solves the problem: "you have the transponder - you are safe because they will see and fly around you". I would like to be seen by all practical means, and see possibly all traffic, so that I can react on my part, too.
