Thanks Mad and Wizofoz. These are the kind of answers I have been waiting for.
Also, the Cleveland control center didn't report code 7700 (which supposed to light up all the warning for all controlers?) Does the range of code 7700 goes as far as the altitude singals? If it does, so we can safly assume that because the Cleveland center only received two transponder signals for altitude without the code 7700, it was more likely the transponder turned on by accident?
