Sportpilot, 2.4 GHz is right in the middle of the "S" radar band. "S" band radars are used for weather, moderate-range surveillance and terminal traffic control. This means that a standard airport radar could pick up a 2.4 GHz transponder signal from one of our receivers with very little modification to the receiver. Cost would be negligible since some receivers are already transmitting anyway
