There should be; I'll check it out.

The Garmin 330 Mode S transponder has this feature of Automatic ALT/GND
Switching. It is enabled/disabled during initial configuration. It can be
changed with some effort but not during flight.

Ray,

Is there a means to leave the transponder on?


Yes. It's in the set-up of the transponder. The options a

- turn off when below 30 kts.
- turn off xx seconds after below 30 kts
- don't turn on/off autmagically

The manual for the Garmin GTX330 can be found on their website.

tested at
Providence now, and is likely going to be showing up at air carrier
airports
around the country soon requires the transponder on for any movement on
the
ground.

The G-1000 has a "squitter," (Is that the right term? Someone help me out
here...) a device that replies to Mode S queries from radar while on the
ground. It can also be manually switched to Mode A or C on the ground by
pushing a single button.
