Nice one, Bluewolf.
I spent the last gulf epic flying around relying on an obsolete mode 4 transponder, which had been gathering dust in a hangar in Germany for years, to save my ass from the yanks; and all because NATO standard means anything but standard. Can't even agree on a standard Jack-plug, for goodness sake!
If as much money was poured into this problem as on the Doha TV studio from which to relay the bad news, it would be a start.
