Default TT21 Stuck in Configuration Mode

I installed a TT21 last fall and *thought* I had it configured and

sequence again, turned it OFF when prompted, but it still comes up in
config mode when I apply power.

As a possible data point, I still have all zeros in for the system
Mode S 'address' *- could this be the problem? *If so, how does one go
about acquiring an address?

Frank,
Your address is part of your aircraft registration information. You
can get it he
http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinqu...m_Inquiry.aspx
You will need to convert it to hexidecimal for input into the TT21.
I seem to recall some talk of the TT21 not working without the
address, so this may be your problem.
