“Aviation Transponders – from IFF to ATCRBS to Mode S to ADS-B”

by David Stockton GM4ZNX

LRS member David Stockton gave a most interesting and amusing talk on the history of equipment for identifying aircraft on radar for military / defensive purposes and modern Air Traffic Control. He ended by showing a modern miniaturized transponder for general aviation use (private aircraft), made by his company.
