But ... surprise surprise... the CASA document is ambiguous. That often happens when people try to paraphrase something.

Are you saying the Mode S requirement is triggered (assuming the airpace class/altitude criteria are met) if I either:

1. install a new transponder system in my aircraft, or

2. install a second hand transponder system to replace the system currently fitted to my aircraft,

but not if I replace unserviceable components of an existing transponder system in my aircraft with serviceable components?

Why does the avionics shop referred to above have a different understanding?
