FS: Zaon MRX PCAS
Now that my PowerFlarm PCAS performs as well or better than my Zaon (thanks to the latest firmware and the shorter antenna) it is time to sell my Zaon MRX.
Although I highly recommend PowerFlarm over the MRX, I figured I'll mention it here before putting it on eBay for those who still prefer PCAS only alerts. Last I checked a used MRX is selling for $300 on average on ebay. Original box contains the latest hardware in excellent condition and fully functional, latest firmware (2.9), spare antenna, power cable and manual. Asking $300 incl shipping in the US. Ramy |

Ramy What do you mean by "shorter antenna" on your PowerFLARM? Kirk 66 |

I think he means that he shortened the mile-long signal-eating coaxial cable that is shipped with the unit - it's an easy fix that I also did.

Mike I may have to bring my antennas to you for "the fix" this winter. Need to shorten the GPS antenna cable too - it's ridiculous! But all seems to work OK - on the few occasions I've flown 66 this year... Kirk |

Once Ramy's unit is sold, my identical Zaon MRX will be for sale. I don't want to highjack Ramy's post, and so I will not post a price until his unit is sold. This unit came with my recently acquired used glider. I have PF and feel that the MRX unit is redundant in my locale. It is in new condition. |

Correct, I was referring to the shorter more tuned antenna. Early units came with identical antennas for PCAS and Flarm (except the connector). If your antennas are identical in size and you have reception issues you may want to consider replacing with the newer one. My newer antenna also came with shorter coax. It is also possible that my antenna had a defect, but once I replaced the antenna the results were remarkably better.

Ramy, through what source did you purchase this newer style antenna?
Is the newer antenna just for flarm or is there a newer and better antenna for the pcas also? Thanks, Joe |

Thanks, Joe It is the other way around. The newer Antenna is just for PCAS. It came out shortly after the initial batch were delivered. You should be able to order one from your dealer. Ramy |
