[f-AA] Zaon MRXA

[Fred A. Larson]

I recently bought a Zaon MRXA for use in our Chief. I have used it on a
couple flights and it seems to work as advertised. The Zaon has an
electronic altimeter built in, so it can give the relative altitude of the
threat even if your aircraft does not have a transponder (although the
calculated difference is probably not as accurate as if you did have your
own transponder?).
