REFLECTOR: Transponder

[Laurence Coen]

Rene,

If you have a traffic alert or you know someone that does it can be used to see if your putting out a signal.  I use a Monroy traffic alert and it monitors my transponder.  That doesn't guarantee that ATC will see you if you have an antenna problem but it might point you in the right direction.

Dear Fellows,

I was flying the Velo two days ago and the tower could not pick up the transponder at all.  The Garmin seems to be functioning normally on the panel with yellow flashing light and persistent light with Idend pushed.  Is there check I can do that might tell me if it is my antennae or the box.  Will a hand held tune to a frequency that will pick up a beep or signal.  The avionics shop is backed up and I leave for Oshkosh next week so I'm in do it yourself mode.

Ideas?

Rene'
