In NZ a transponder is getting just about a requirement as our
CAA is a ##### !
The dept is introducing airspace restrictions that are totally
unwarranted as similar airspace traffic densities in other countries
don't even have controllers let alone the regime that we have here.
This is mainly in the north island the south island has fewer traffic
zones so is largely unregulated.
The controllers are sitting at a centre 800 kms away
(in the name of centralisation) from the biggest traffic area near
where I fly.
Enough of my ranting , On the subject I have been offered a Terra
transponder, any feedback on this unit .

A year ago there was a question about which transponder might be
preferable in gliders. Most of the responses debated *whether* a
transponder was a good idea, and no one had any comparative
experience.

I'm wondering, with another year under our collective belts, what
users' experiences with the various currently-available transponders
might be -- Microair, Becker, Filser.

Thanks,
