Thanks for the detailed reply. The answer I was after is no, landing config does not influence alerts as such.
As for Lisag's interest I am sure you have helped her understand it better too.
My next question and probaly should be another thread is how can two GPS aircraft, both regurly flown on the same track by the same crew get themselves too dead! (L/River and Benalla)
I have raised electronic interference here before and not given a warm reception, however I know first hand that phones affect transponders (similar bands) and maybe some GPS receiver can be too.... Maybe its time to experiment.
I have no vested interest in either accident, but I just can not get over some similarities between the two.
I like my VFR.....
Thanks again.
