The FAR does NOT state that. *It says 24 calendar months. * You're
good
to the end of the month and it makes no difference if you don't intend
to
fly IFR.

"Intend to", or bust VFR minimums?

Sorry I was not clear....It doesn't matter if you are VFR or IFR.
You need a transponder check in all circumstances.

There are two different checks involving the transponder. The
correspondence check for IFR is significantly more costly than a
simple VFR transponder check. If all you do is fly VFR, get a VFR
check and save some money or spend more and add the IFR compliant
checks--it's your dime.
