your altitude encoder may be off and need adjusting.

last year ATC was seeing me 200 ft lower then I was, I took it to the avionics
shop and he adjusted the altitude encoder, now ATC see's the same thing my
altimeter is saying.

In everyone's observation, what is the typical difference between the
indicated altimeter reading with current pressure setting and the altitude
reported by mode c transponder. It seems mine always has a discrepancy of
100', sometimes 200' compared to what ATC shows.

Just wondering if it needs further investigation. Pitot static, altimeter
and transponder inspections are all current.

Thanks!
