Do you have any experience?

shouldn't you ask an avionics engineer? do you need mode C desparately? whats wrong with mode A? are you regularily flying in controlled airspace? it's not mandatory to have mode C outside of controlled airspace here.

My homebase is Class C.

OK, I'd still ask an avionics engineer, not entirely sure where you thought a lack of knowlege about the internal workings of a transponder quantifies as proof of not being a pilot, all I'm requred to know about them is when where and how to use them, and I mostly use ones with mode S in order to function with the TCAS II.

what I don't appreciate are insults to my family.

You had no problems insulting my family in PM.

It is not proof, but it sure isn't something most non-pilots know about. The internal workings of an altitude encoder are definately not something someone who has not owned an airplane know much about.

The trans-cal is on order. Only 60 bucks more for a 42 month warrenty combined with smaller, lighter, and uses the same tray as the ACK.

I insulted your family in PM?.....you mean when I got a bizarre picture of some guy in fatigues holding a baby from you, and I said 'the baby looks beautifull but I don't want your life story just a picture of your license'?

The aircraft I owned never had a transponder as it was classed as an Ultralight, and there is no requirement to have one because ultralights are excluded from operating in controlled airpace full stop.

p.s. in the same series of PM's you were given the benefit of knowing about my father, you were not so sorry to hear the news then and managed to make another reference today....way to go Einstein.
