Where?

TCAS uses at least one directional antenna. It is this antenna that
provides
azimuth information, independently of any equipment ATC might have. The
directional characteristic required for the antenna provides very low
azimuth
resolution, which means that bearing information on the TCAS display is
only
approximately accurate, unless the equipment substantially exceeds the
minimum
requirements for the system.

This is more or less correct. TCAS is also inaccurate in range compared to
a ground based sensor.

Before we continue with Anthony, let's all remember that will never admit he
is incorrect or has made a misstatement. Bottom line is that he has never,
ever flown with TCAS, TIS, ADS-B, or for that matter a Narco Mark 12.

Rather than argue minor points, why bother since he has no experience with
any of these systems and wouldn't even know how to turn one on let alone use
it effectively or understand how they work.

Good question. I don't argue with him for that very reason. I suspect that
those who do have some burning need to feel like they have accomplished
something, but proving you have more experience than someone who has zero
experience is not much of an accomplishment in my book. Anthony doesn't nym
shift, so anyone who is annoyed can simply add him to their killfile. I
don't really care if anyone beats up on Anthony as he well deserves it for a
number of reasons, but justifying beating up on him by saying he's a hazard
to aviation is truly pathetic.

Agree completely, mostly I respond because he's an idiot.

Sign me pathetic. I was trying to make a point (perhaps a bit too
strongly) about a jerk who speaks with such authority and who has zero
flying experience or credentials.

Be that as it may the problem with that approach is occassionally Anthony is
right. If you simply post a blanket statement that says Anthony is always
wrong, you might want to be sure that what he just posted was. Otherwise a
casual reader might question your knowledge, experience, and credibility
rather than his.

If someone wants to question my knowledge, experience and credibility,
they can be my guest.

I know a few things about a few medical procedures. But, I don't
pretend I am a medical doctor on some medical forum.

The guy just plain ****es me off.

If you want to ignore him, ignore him. If you want to argue his points,
argue his points. But blanket ad hominem attacks are IMO neither
constructive nor conducive to a pleasant atmosphere in this newsgroup.
Furthermore, at least for me, it makes it harder ignore MXS if I choose to
do so because while he is in fact in my killfile, you aren't, and I see
your replies to his posts.

So please, in the interest of an improved SNR here, just ignore him if you
don't want to argue with him.
