Narrative:
Right after takeoff, we received a TA from the TCASII. It had no altitude and was right next to us. After some consultation with departure control we determined he had no such target and we continued to paint it. It appeared to be close to the upwind end of runway 28. The controller said it could be the radio shop at the airport. Transmitting a transponder signal for test purposes is illegal.
