Default Warning to users of Zaon PCAS MRX

The electronic technology isn't there yet.
Who wants "the boy who cried WOLF" in the cockpit, or the need to
consider whether you're being interrogated by RADAR for the thing to
work?
Something akin to the Swiss unmentionable-on-this-forum device is
needed in all aircraft.
They fail too, mostly due to bad antennas. But at least you know it
when the towplane or the glider launching after you are not on the
visual display.
Heads up!

if you have a transponder.
