Default Many transponders in close proximity

After this thread I 'm not feeling froggy about any of this. In
Phoenix and most other places I fly I have been squawking 1200 (Ely,
Moriarty) but are you guys saying that I will be ignored by ground radar due
to filtering for airspeed and by TCAS for 1200???? Glad I spent the $2000.
It all seems inane to me that we go to the effort to be seen and our reward
is being "filtered out" because some moron thinks we aren't a real threat.



The money you spent on a transponder was well spent. Now you need to
save up and buy a better bull**** filter!
