except that it will tell you the jet near you before you mid-air if I
understand correctly
"transponder PCAS annunciation."


Unless you are transmitting ADS-B Out, all you get is a warning that
someone is near you at your altitude. *You get altitude and distance,
but not a clue of which direction they are coming from. *The jet and his
TCAS doesn't see you at all.

If I have a warning, I have a chance.
I'm convinced he will not avoid me.
