But it would be kind of weird to be above 10K where a Mode-C transponder is
required, but not have a radio or altimeter...

That Reg does not apply to flight within 3,000 above the surface. You
have to look at two other Regs to conclude that. Therefore, under 3,000,
an adjustable altimeter is not required per 91.205. FARs don't apply to
you; stay away.


An altimeter adjustable for barometric pressure is not required for VFR
flight at any altitude.

If you're operating at any altitude below 18,000 feet and you're equipped
with a radio and you have an altimeter adjustable for barometric pressure
you must set it to the current reported altimeter setting of an
appropriate available station, VFR and IFR.
