I think it is a great idea for us to do transponders. The power requirements are not what they used to be. One question though, how does it help these situations? Can't only big planes and towers see the transponders. I believe there are now some small devices, but mostly planes only transmit - ie. the whole system is to protect passenger planes from everyone else. Scott
