Narrative:
Another cessna 172 approached the checkpoint for clearance into hnl bravo airspace after I had been cleared in. They approached from above me and to the south. They were having issues with their transponder I believe and turned to the north and away from the airport to address their transponder and for sequencing. When I caught sight of them above me and to my right I pushed the yoke down to separate us further and continued my approach toward hnl. My lessons learned from this event are: 1. Be more proactive on the radio with hcf when a situation like this is identified; second more aggressively search for other aircraft at points of congestion (even above me) to prevent a collision.
