Briin, first of all my apoligies for not getting back to you after your response. My knowledge of the site and navigating around it are thankfully worse than in the air. I have mine hard wired also, appears to be very accurate with very little issues. I have found that when the unit turns on, if I don't flick up to flight mode and leave it in ground mode it sometimes turns off? One other issue is that it wont display my code when transponder on and squwaking, I have cleaned the transponder antennae with no change.... Anyway thanks for your input. Regards Danny.

G,day, Have just bought a MRX PCAS. Ian told me that you have one. I went flying today and unfortunatly no aircraft around to test. I did find that on the ground in flight mode it showed an aircraft 1.5 miles away at 00 feet. This aircraft was only 50 feet away, would that be normal given that it was so close? The other issue it turned itself off after about 1 minute on at least 3 occasions???? I was squarking 1200 but it showed me everything but. I will give the transponder aerial a good clean before I fly again. I have heard of a few issues in the past, I am just hoping that these have all been rectified. Appreciate any advice or info that you can give. Regards Danny (Biggles5128)
