Thank you for that demo of technical superiority.

You will note that is the RX specifications.

Most Oz a/c have a MODE A/C transponder.

You will find that the little light shines when you are
1. Pinged by radar
2. Pinged by TCAS

Then the transponder RESPONDS.

So, tell us again - how does the unit receive information when away from radar coverage - what tells the target a/c transponder to respond?
