Above 10K a operational transponder is required equipment. I have flown IFR with a transponder on the blink so flight following may be possible with altitude verifications. Try it and see, but above 10K you gotta have a transponder. What I meant by my saying 1200 or on flight following or IFR was if on either of the two, you will be assigned a code other than 1200. Look it up as there may be a provision if you are less than 3000 above the ground.
