Even though the TCAS function doesn't work, is the approaching jet made
aware there are transponders at that 2-D position, altitude unknown?

What happens when the jet approaches a Mode A equipped aircraft? Is the
pilot made aware of it, even though the TCAS system cannot give him
climb/dive command?
