Are these units reliable and worth having in your glider?

Has ZAON gone T.U.?
I have tried to access the website but get no where.

I just purchased a previously owned unit and want to get an extended antenna and the panel mounting kit. I see several resellers with the extended antenna kit, but no panel mounting kit.

Unfortunately, I believe they are no longer in business....

I have owned my ZAON MRX since Jan of 2006 and I have always been very pleased with its performance. It is very unfortunate that ZAON has shut-down. Hopefully, someone will buy the rights and/or the assets and take over the sales and support of these units.....

Hopefully, someone will at least support them. In the big picture
though, I'm afraid that ZAON's technology doesn't have much of a future.

Remember this is mostly a product aimed at the airplane world, but those
folks are likely buying Ipads and portable ADSB receivers these days.
Yes, I know they don't display the same traffic as PCAS, but they will
get increasingly relevant as more and more planes install ADSB.

In the interim, I'm still happy with my little MRX.

Mine's mounted to the top of the glare shield with velcro. Works just fine
there and is very low profile.
