S mode gives you traffic and is wonderful if you fly where there is

general aviation.

Can you tell us what additional equipment it takes to get the traffic,
how the traffic is displayed, and where the traffic information is
available? For example, I think I read in the AOPA newsletter that the
traffic info was being cut back in a number of places, and was mainly
available near large cities, but I've never used the system.
