Subject:Re: Building a Transponder Receiver
From:Diego Castano

Im quite the opposite of a anti-aviation nut. I am a commercial pilot (and
instructor) that doesnt like the sound of metal coming together in the air.
I had a couple of close calls because of a faulty transponder and I would
like to do something about it (other than sue the maintenance shop).

Although building a TCAS-like device would great, it is beyond my capability
and budget. The only thing I want is a transponder altitude reporter. And,
if possible, I want to build it not to buy it.

Ill let you know what I find out.

Diego.
