errrrrr.........when it's off for maintainance perhaps??
I shall re-phrase:

Primary back up? Not here anyway - no primary = SSR only = 10 miles horizontal separation.

You ask for the clearance. They invariably clear you first and then ask you to squawk. You reply "negative transponder"
Not me mate!! Squawk first then clearance (which
may be subject to a servicable transponder
)!
