Sounds to me like Myth! the radar head sweeps at 10-12 RPM so your transponder will reply to that radar at 5 second intervals so what are the chances of a pilot tuning the transponder through an emegency code during the time that his transponder is being interogated by a radar (remember the interogation pulse is fractions of a second).
