Doesn't matter as the software in the radar is calibrated so as not to
display a code on the airport. We have ours set so no transponder
returns show until you get more than 1/2 mile away from the antenna,
otherwise the airport would be a clogged mess of returns. And you're
not worried about a code that is in use but one that is not yet in use.
