Dick, methinks you need to explain that 'rational heads' comment, by itself it reeks of BS
Why would it be rational to support old, expensive technology in lieu of a move to next generation technology that delivers traffic information to all airspace users within a few years at no or very little cost to the individual aircraft owner?
If I want traffic info in my aeroplane now, I need to spend 10 grand on a TAS600 or similar. Great!
