Anyone know of a transponder that can have the codes switched from a remote set of switches and a remote Ident button? I guess I'm asking if there are access points in a connector where this could be done, or has some whiz already done this? My helicopter likes it when I keep my hands on the...

PHOTOS: Rotorfest and PHL - October 04, 2009 Over 100 photos in this group. The highlight at Rotorfest for me was the Kaman K-Max and the Pilatus Porter jump plane. The clouds moved in briefly in the AM and gave us a short-lived scare, but they burned off. Plenty of copters and GA aircraft,...
