What do you mean by unverified SSR?
TCAS uses Mode C returns for altitude calculation and diversity antennae for bearing, latter being correct to +-10 degrees only.
What would be the use of Mode A? It does only provide the squawk selected on the transponder panel.
Besides this normal separation criteria for uncontrolled airspace apply to all pilots.
