I think that would be the case with the atd300 device since it doesn't
show more than one traffic according to their user manual, but I have
not heard or read that complaint from the trafficscope users. I
skimmed through the trafficscope manual, and it says it allows for up
to 3 threats to be shown as well. The ryan tcad does the same thing
and allows multiple views.

But as far as displaying the code, I think that is useless information
because most aircraft are bound to be VFR, not IFR. Unless you are
flying in bad weather or around a flight training hub, you will
probably see a bunch of 1200 codes. I noticed that the R5 is from
France, so maybe they have not flown around the U.S. much to notice
this.

What matters is portability, accuracy of the altitude, range, and the
overall size in my opinion. So far I think from comparing manuals the
trafficscope has the corner on all of these. One thing that disturbed
me about the R5 is that to use it in my plane I would have to get an
extra adapter for my 28 Volt bus, whereas the trafficscope accepts the
internal batteries or up to 40 volts which is a very nice feature.

I have one on order, and will report more as I fly with it.

Loran,
Keep in mind that beside VFR you also get IFR.

If you get more than one threat around the competitve guy never stop
his flip-flop between threats. Very disturbing.

Correct me of I am wrong, but don't most aircraft in general aviation
squawk 1200? If 95% of aircraft around me are squawking 1200 how
would this help me?

I have talked to a handful of pilots who have taken order on the new
cockpit-tcas "trafficscope" made by SureCheck aviation who swear by
it. Has anyone else used it?

Hi,
You can find info on the Proxalert R5 at
www.proxalert.com
Only device to simultaneously displays info of up to three threats
including code. Plenty of units already shipped in the US, Canada and
Europe.
