Makes sense to anyone ??? Sounds like TCAS TCAS only works with Mode-S transponders.

The only difference is that two Mode-S-equipped airplanes are able to coordinate a TCAS maneuver (so both airplanes won't get told "climb" and climb into each other). TCAS will interact and with Mode C transponders just fine, and will even show and give a traffic advisory for aircraft with no altitude encoding at all. -- Garner R.

Everyone should specify.
