[MilCom] Military Aero "Close Call Capture Technology" Results?

[Joe Cobb]

I achieve good results with my Pro-97 but i have
issues with the BCD-396T.   The 396T does a good job
within proximity to the aircraft.   Thats not a bad
thing but at the distances i've been to aircraft with
my 396T getting that close at an airshow would be
impossible.   The 97 picks up the signal a little
farther which is what i'm looking for.   For example
their could be two mil aircraft at the top of our
ramp, at the FBO, and my 396 would not hit on them but
the 97 will.   I would estimate that to be about 500
feet.   My 2 cents.
