Many transponders in close proximity

#1. Transponders would not solve the mid air problem unless you were
the only one in close proximity to the attacking aircraft. Typically,
TCAS can't factor multiple threats?!? Even the lowly Zaon MRX can.
they set MTI (moving target indicator) to above 60K or higher
(especially if near a large amount of highway ground traffic), so once
you start thermalling they lose you unless you are given a discrete
squawk other than 1200 (for non participating VFR Traffic)
TCAS filtering out "highway ground traffic" ...squawking 1200?
I think he's talking about ground radar. TCAS gives not a hoot about
mode A codes.
