That's what I expected. What I didn't get was Rodan's statement

What I don't know if these pilots appreciate is that if they are in class G and not talking to anyone, (no problems with that, btw, it's up to you), with 7000 set and no mode 'C', they are effectively wiping out a 10 (ten) mile diameter cylinder of airspace around them from the surface to FL245 for anyone who is in receipt of a radar advisory service.

ATC would direct traffic receiving a RAS around suspected conflicts. Would you advise an a/c receiving a RAS, in any airspace, around a radar return without Mode C, or would this happen only if the a/c receiving RAS was outside CAS? I suspect the latter might be the case. I flew under RAS only once (outside CAS) as I normally prefer RIS, and got directed in doglegs all over the place.
