Left/Right clicking on the TCAS panel only activates/deactivates the system .... but .... nothing else .... so far as I´m aware. I presume the buttons you´re referring to are those of the sub panel view selection icons .... located below the point which the TCAS screen appears when commanded into view .... since the TCAS sysyem, itself, has no operating switches other than both "ON/OF" modes .... controlled by clicking (silent hot spots) within the top left quadrant of the TCAS screen. I wonder if you´re, maybe, under the erroneous impression that the icons, referenced above, have something to do with the TCAS "IF SO" .... then I can assure you this isn´t the case. Different things can react differently on different PC oprating systems, of course, but, upon rechecking both TCAS equipped MDX panels (both Golding White and Golding/Seale Red versions only .... which I know I didn´t need to do because the "basic" operation of these had been checked, thoroughly, prior to release) .... I can´t seem to replicate any problems at all with either the TCAS presentation or any of the referenced sub panel icons using the system I have access to at the moment .... or either of the other 2 systems (both XP PRO and WINDOWS 7) I´ve installed these panels on. I, perhaps, need to say .... the TCAS system in these panels is "BASIC" and possibly just limited to being selected "ON/OFF" .... with the "TCAS SYSTEM OK" callout upon being activated .... but .... probably little else. By not activating the TCAS, at all, you´ll certainly be missing nothing Mark C ABOG/CO
