I talked to them as well and they showed me the prototype of the panel mounted unit. It was a black box mounted behind the panel. The thing I didn’t like about it was the number of coax connections it had. There were 8 coax connections. Unlike the dash mount which has the four quadrant antennas built into it, the black box version had one antenna connection per quadrant on the belly of the plane and another connection per quadrant on the top of the plane. This is a crazy amount of antenna coax. I had asked if they can’t make a unit that has the 4 antennas in one housing and some brains and then use a digital interface to the display head. This way, worst case you would have one antenna and cable on the top and bottom side of your plane. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Thank You

I like that. As soon as they come out with a panel mount version I will make a purchase. Did they give you any indication of if and when they were going to do that?
I have the older Trafficscope right now and it was sure nice flying out with it. There were 3 times we had traffic very close and sure enough, a plane (going to Oshkosh) would be close. That is one thing very nice about the RV-10. You can almost see 360 degrees around the plane looking for traffic.
ADS-B would be the only thing that would keep me from upgrading but I think they are still a few years away from making that a widespread system. Does anyone know what type of equipment will be needed for it? I know there were some forums on it but for the first time in many years I didn't make it to one forum. Maybe someone who attended one of the forums can give us an update. I know MIT is doing some work on it and they are looking for a private company to continue development and maintenance of it.

I saw this Zaon system at OSH coupled with a 496. Check it out at: http://www.zaonflight.com/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_view/gid,5/ The $75.00 patch cord opens a window in the corner of a Garmin 496 screen.
Is anyone using this system? How about other systems? What do you have for traffic?
