REFLECTOR: Transponder

[John Dibble]

Occasionally controllers tell me they don't receive my transponder, then
it is working fine when I switch to the next controller.  I recently had
my biannual transponder check, so my transponder is fine.
Have you tried it with another controller or at another time?
