DC3 No Transponder

Hi Guys.
I really hope somebody can help me. My problem is this 1, I have set up complete cockpit, well it suits my purposes, using Saitek stuff. The XPDR function does not light up the screen on the Saitek Radio. Not a real problem when using FSX's ATC. But I have now installed Vox ATC and I fly the RAF (Just Flight) BBMF C47 Dakota. To use Vox ATC to its full it requires squawk codes. The Dakota does not have a transponder. Q1 Does anybody know how to make the Saitek XPDR function work. Q2 Does anybody know how to import a transponder (as a pop up panel) into my Dakota. Q3 Would the stand alone VRi Transponder unit give my Dakota a transder. I am using FSX on Windows 7
So here's hoping

You could assign the Bendix radio from one of the default aircraft to the C-47 as a pop-up panel as I think that one has a transponder.

As for the Saitek panel: No idea.
 
seems im a little differant ,but just call saitek or email them.i have and theyre very helpfull.

The basics can be googled.
How to add a sub window is explained here with FS9's GPS, but the process is the same for FSX (the installation folder path does differ though):
