| Subject: | UPSAT Transponder |
My UPSAT transponder Apollo Model SL70 gives Air Traffic Control the
accurate altitude compared to my steam gauge altimeter and Chelton/Grand Rapids
Technology units. However, the INDICATION on the face of the transponder
is 300 feet off. Therefore not a problem with IFR, i.e., ATC gets the right
altitude from interrogating the transponder (I've asked ATC numerous
times), but I'd like the readout on the front of the SL70 to agree with my
other altimeters.
Any easy do-it-myself fix?

To do that, you'd have to set the altimeter setting on the
transponder somehow so that it was reading whatever the
altitude of the day for that pressure is. This is just
how they work, if I'm understanding your dilemma correctly.
The transponder isn't an altimeter...it just gives PAlt
to the other systems. So don't think of it as such.

Thank you Joe & Bob,
I currently have Z 19 installed. I kind of like your Dwg.
Maybe next year I may change it around. Right now, all I want to do is get it running
and fly off 5 hrs.
It's been a very long summer for engine change.
One damn thing after the other. Oh well, it will all work out in the end.
Thank you again for the help.
