Thanks for the good info--
but I have a question--see #6 below---
If the ASG29 was squaking the discrete code used in the Minden area, would
the 800XP not have been alerted to the conflict?

Tom;
I am a FAA Test Pilot who is authorized to test Transponders in new
aircraft... I do this for a living. I also was qualified as a Hawker
800XP test pilot.

Bottom Line - Transponders are NOT the answer! Try putting one of
these new LED Strobe Lights on the top of your Fin instead.


#6. Transponders are expensive... DO NOT solve the "see and avoid"
problem.. can potentially really mess ATC up if you are not in direct
contact with them.. and in the case of the Hawker midair..... would not
have prevented the collision.
