If you are saying that most glider pilots in the Reno area have transponders, I disagree. If you are saying that those who do have Xponders squawk 0440, I concur. I fly out of Minden and have both a transponder and a TPAS. The majority of glider traffic I acquire visually do not show up on my TPAS at all. I would say no more than 50% (and it's probably closer to 30%) of gliders have transponders and are squawking. bumper
