Narrative:

Runway 35 was in use at dxr (danbury airport) that day. The tower cleared me for takeoff and instructed me to fly a 2 miles upwind leg before making a right turn to my destination. I complied.as I was climbing roughly through 2;000 feet; and flying past the western ct state university complex; about 1.8 miles from dxr; I leveled off to let the engine breathe and look over the nose of the airplane for traffic. As I did that; I saw another airplane; conceivably another C-182; coming at me slightly to the right of my flight path and slightly above me. At about the same time; TCAS alerted me to the presence of another airplane straight ahead and about 150 feet above me.I took evasive action by sharply turning to the left. The other airplane also took evasive action by sharply turning in the opposite direction. So; we avoided a collision. It was a close call! Both; the pilot of the other aircraft; and I; acknowledged so on the tower frequency. The tower never inasmuch as acknowledged the exchange between us.
