Anybody else using this little gem?
I bought one about 4 months ago after a "near" miss leaving Columbia, CA.
Had a little trouble hooking up with ATC/flight following after departure.
When I finally got them on frequency the first thing they said was "traffic 2 miles, 2 Oclock, your altitude. Expedite decent". I happily obliged and watched the Cessna pass a couple of hundred feet directly overhead.
Bought the XRX shortly thereafter. It is a gem! Works great. Appears to spot the vast majority of traffic. The directionality is good though not perfect. Altitude very accurate. A HUGE aid in providing awareness of local traffic. I may get one for the car too...for those occasional pesky emergency freeway landers.
