Narrative:

I was given the takeoff clearance from runway 22R by tower with 'maintain runway heading' limitation. Upon rotation and at around 200 AGL; tower directed me to begin a left turn out. I verified with tower that my previous clearance was to maintain runway heading. Tower controller acknowledged that he was aware but required me to begin the left turn out. I initiated a climbing left turn out to an approximate heading of 190. Airplane was equipped with L3 systems skywatch active traffic collision advisory system (TCAS) which is connected to my avidyne EX5000 mfd. The plane is also capable of receiving tis-B traffic on the avidyne IFD440 navigation/com 1/2. Both skywatch and tis-B painted multiple targets around the vicinity of the airport and hence there was no reason to believe that either systems were malfunctioning at the time of this incident.at about 5 NM from the airport at about the same heading of 190 deg; while climbing through 3500 MSL; tower approved a frequency change to enroute (approach). I acknowledged and began to tune that frequency on my communication 1. Upon successful tuning; I looked up to my left to find a high winged cessna closing up into my flight path from below. I immediately initiated a climbing right turn away from the cessna. I estimated the cessna to be no more than 100 feet from my left wing and I could clearly see the pilot who did not seem to have noticed my plane at that time. ATC had not called out this traffic before frequency change approval and no TCAS warning from either systems (skywatch or tis-B) was ever received. Once the evasive maneuver was completed; the rest of flight continued without any further incidence.
