Dead ZAON PCAS MRX
My PCAS MRX went TU a few weeks ago. Since ZAON has been out of business since mid 2013, does anyone have a resource for getting it repaired?
Thanks, Evan, LS1-f |

What Matt said.
I was very happy with my Zaon PCAS for several years until a good deal on a PowerFlarm portable popped up.Â* I tried it on the ground and was impressed with the extra stuff that it provided, especially ADS-B targets.Â* I fly in an area of relatively few gliders and my home field is directly under an arrival route.Â* I see way more ADS-B targets than Flarm targets.Â* A big advantage to the Flarm over the PCAS is that for ADS-B targets, I get bearing, distance, vertical separation and rate of change.Â* That's a big plus over PCAS which, as you know, only gives you range and altitude differential. Finally, the world is transitioning to ADS-B (by mandate) and, though gliders are currently not required to equip with transponders or ADS-B, that may come as well.

Was sad to see the company fold. They had great customer service. Also will have a surplus Becker 175W transponder / encoder looking for a new home. Bob BV nov44ba@g... |

Thank you everyone who responded. I'd much prefer a PowerFlarm portable as suggested, and if I can't resurrect the MRX, that will probably be the direction I take. Thanks again to all!

My understanding is that FCC approval has been received for the LX Nav units and the LX Navigation units are in progress.
They both use an OEM Powerflarm chip. |
