Howdy,
I have an Aeromech 8140B20 encoding altimeter with a KT76 transponder.
Mode C is intermittent with ATC. Is it more than likely this is an
altimeter problem or transponder problem? Sometimes when it is not
reporting, i cycle the transponder off then back on and it starts
reporting again. Thanks in advance,
Brian
Also, sould an aeromech and aerosonic encoding transponder interchange
as far as the connections are concerned?
Check for oil/dirt buildup on the TXP antenna. THere is usually a lot of
carbon in that stuff -- it can short out the antenna on Xmt.
