The detector is easy - $500 for a TPAS and we are good to go. I plan
on getting mine when the season starts. But at $2K+ for a
transponder, it's be a while before they are real common, especially
in older gliders.

More and more of us are doing just that. I fly out of Minden so have been
flying with TPAS (Proxalert R-5) for over 3 years and a Becker transponder
since '98. Back when I bought the TPAS, it was over $1K, so I've over $3K in
equipment. How much is a jet load of passengers worth? Probably well over
$3K at the going attorney's rates. How much is my butt worth? Priceless!
(last time I checked).
