I don't expect an apology for all the snide comments, Wingo. However this is exactly what I originally took to be the case. Has everything been clarified now?
I would suggest that before you comment you also find out a bit more about aviation. Why do you expect a real 737 pilot to know the capabilities of a GTX330 txponder? I first saw one this year when we had them installed, and until then I would never have connected a transponder to a timing function, so your comment would have confused me too. Antonio sure as hell isn't going to have one in his jet!
I think you should chill out and find some facts before you go making personal comments about others. You don't know enough to make them correctly, let alone the fact that you should be slower to make them at all.
