Hawker Pacific are advertising a small PCAS that actually works anywhere
I missed that!

NO, NO, NO, NO - it doesn't! In fact, it probably would NOT have detected the aircraft that nearly cleaned me up in the incident referred to above.

ME - mine cost me about $2k, but they would be more than that now with the crash of the Ozzie $. There is a simpler cheaper one that Zaon sell for about US$500, but I have no experience with it. The Avidyne TCAS unit referred to by Ovation in another thread would cost about $20k to retro-fit to a GA aircraft.
