Most TXP antennae are belly-mounted. They send out a rather strong EM signal that can reflect off the pavement and overwhelm the receiver portion of the TXP, possibly damaging it. I would be surprised if most modern transponders don't protect against this themselves by blanking the receiver during the transmit. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.OceanCityAirport.com http://www.oc-Adolfos.com

Of course, any additional information you can provide on this, I would be most interested in reading!  Greg
