Narrative:

After departure psp on a heading of 300 degree. Departure control issued a heading of 360 degree. During turn to 360 degree passing through 330 degree and climbing through 4000', captain took aircraft. Aircraft was on autoplt and I was monitoring climb and heading change. Captain made a 30 degree bank turn to the left and a slight descent. As I looked up, I saw a small aircraft small aircraft passing off to our right. At very close proximity. Departure control was notified of our near miss situation. We were advised by ATC controller that after mishap occurred, he did not have the other aircraft on radar. If this was true, and other aircraft was not transponder equipped, then we have a sad state of affairs. I feel all aircraft should be transponder equipped. No exceptions! Supplemental information from acn #85993: filed near midair report.
