The ATD-300 Traffic-Watch(R)

The ATD-300 Traffic-Watch is a passive receiver capable of detecting transponder replies from nearby aircraft and displaying their range and altitude on a bright 8-character dot matrix yellow LED display. It also provides distinctive voice warnings in relation to traffic proximity. The ATD-300 has a detection range of 5 nautical miles. The system consists of a receiver/indicator unit, antenna, power cord and headphone cable. The receiver is housed in a small aluminum box (2.75" x 0.75" x 5.0") for easy location in the cockpit.

The ATD-300 provides distinctive voice warnings for traffic at different ranges. When set in the FAR mode and traffic is within 3nm and +-1,000ft of vertical separation "Traffic" will be annunciated. As the traffic gets closer to about 1nm and within +-1000ft of vertical separation the message will change to "Traffic Nearby". When set in the NEAR mode only traffic within 1nm and +-500ft of vertical separation will be annunciated by "Traffic Nearby". When set to MUTE there is no warning messages for any traffic, however traffic range and pressure altitude will still be indicated. When there is no traffic activity the ATD-300 will automatically indicate the host transponder MSL pressure altitude. A screwdriver adjustable volume control is located on the bottom side of the unit. Audio output to a speaker (8 ohms) or headphones (300 ohms) is provided on the rear of the unit.

Unlike traditional active TCAS systems the ATD-300 determine traffic's range by its signal magnitude. Although not as accurate, this method allows for a compact low cost unit with a higher reliability than traditional active TCAS transmitters.

The ATD-300 uses the onboard transmitted transponder altitude encoder data and the traffic's encoder data for relative altitude indication. Because these FAA-TSOd encoders are checked every two years, it assures that the indicated differential altitude is as accurate as that received by ATC. Since the ATD-300 has no internal altitude sensor, there is no need for periodic calibration checks or static port connections, particularly in pressurized aircraft. Thus making the unit easily portable between pressurized and non-pressurized aircraft.

In areas of high traffic activity the display will show multiple traffics in an alternating fashion. This is most common for traffic between 4 and 5nm. Display preference is given to the closest traffic by distance and altitude. As traffic gets closer, background traffic display is reduced or eliminated.

The ATD-300 also features a built-in voltage-warning indicator that lets you know if the aircraft supply voltage is out of range. This function works in the background at all the times and is activated after engine start. If an out of range condition exists, the ATD-300 annunciates it by voice and by text.

Customer Reviews For Monroy Traffic-Watch ATD-300: Write a review

Monday, October 13, 2008 by A Customer from salinas CA USA  Review: This is the second unit I have purchased for two aircraft. For the money you can't afford to be without it, especilly in high density airspace. It keeps your head on a swivel and it is accurate. Monday, March 10, 2008 VERY FINE DEVICE by KEN from SANTA ANA CA USA  Review: SMALL COMPACT REASONBLY PRICED WITH THE CAPABILTY I WAS SEEKING FOR THE FLYING I DO. Wednesday, September 26, 2007 Save Thousands and Have Collision Avoidance by Woody Gray from Chesterfiled MO USA  Pros: Low Cost - Highly Effective - Gets Your Head Out of The Cockpit Cons: Provides Alert but Not Direction Review: Installed in a TR-182 and C-172. Exceeded expectations. Provides Near and Far Alerts. Can be silenced in traffic pattern. MyPilotStore Lowest Cost - Paid $149 for Antenna and $500 for permanent install. Used as a portable until I was sure I liked it and it worked. Better signal reception with permanent antenna installation. Absolutely value added safety at a bargin price. Works transponder to transponder - not reliant on ATC radar like more expensive traffic watch systems. Tuesday, August 14, 2007 Great Product! by Jack from Cotter, AR  Pros: small, easy to install and use. Cons: none, except direction would be nice. Review: Excellent if you use external monopole antennae. Had an ATD200 and an ATD300 before this ATD300 and all of them worked as advertised. Actually would have gave it 4 1/2 stars if I could. Wednesday, August 08, 2007 So far, so good. by Jim from St. Louis, MO  Pros: Small size; very affordable panel mount or portable. Cons: Can't think of any at this time. Review: I haven't yet flown with this product, and I'm not sure when I will. I bought it to panel mount in my homebuilt (RV-6A) which is still under construction. I did power it up, and whenever an airplane flew over, it gave a reading of altitude and range, which is exactly what it is supposed to do. Wednesday, August 01, 2007 Works fine for me by JohnBoy from Marysville, Ohio  Pros: You can see the readout in the sun, no glare Cons: Gets to hot to leave on top of dash Review: I just use it in the "Near" mode. Doesn't show the direction of the targets, but I knew that when I purchased ATD-300
