Default Transponders and ATC's Radar

What did the shop do? Adjusted settings? Replaced tubes? Both?

Yes, I've had this happen. I don't understand all the physics behind it
but the transponder replies after a set amount of time. Apparently, if
that time is off a variety of variables could cause certain controllers
to have problems (perhaps distance from transmit station). In any case,
an hour in the avionics shop fixed the problem for good.
