As to the comment in the installation instructions about "not blanking
your Mode C for a while in areas with poor radar coverage", you can
remedy this by using your "IDENT" button on your Mode C transponder.
Probably twice in a minute or so and it should figure out that you are
there and not a threat to yourself. *I haven't yet had a chance to
test this.


That seems to imply that you think pressing IDENT will cause the
transponder to transmit, or am I mistaken?
