Point, was that the Radar Transponder MUST be mounted Clearly OUTSIDE
the Vertical Beamwidth of the Onboard Radar, so as to not be triggered
by the operation of the onboard Radar. This is correct

Noone is going to run a radar transponder and radar on the same boat. That
transponder is going to go berserk re-radiating your own radar. There's
all kinds of crazy side lobes on the shitty PC board antenna on any radome
array. The lobes don't have a lot of power, but sure more than enough
power to set off a transponder, even if you put the damned antenna in the
BILGE!

What a crazy idea....

Not at all. They serve different purposes, and are complementary.
