Dual transponders

"Usually the second transponder is tied to the right seat altimeter, so that while the guy in the right seat is flying that second transponder is reporting his altitude, which may not be the same as what the altimeter is reporting in the left seat."Not exactly true in how it was worded. It does not matter what altimeter it is tied to if it is tied to one at all.
