A transponder pushes out a high but very short peak power pulse, so again effectively insignificant. Glad the LAA is complaining formally; Ofcom presumably forgot about light aviation altogether. (as ever?).
Hopefully it will not be as much as 0.9m which could affect a passenger, who is not counted a a member of the public according the Ofcom guidance!
