Subject: | Transponder Issue |
--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I have UPS SL70 mounted in my composite Europa. Up until recently it has operated
faultlessly, but I a recent trip between Wisconsin and Arkansas I had several
complaints from ATC that they could not see my transponder, even at 9000'.
I am unsure if I have a problem or not, the antenna is mounted in the baggage bay,
it is a simple "spike" type mounted on a piece of 6 x 6 aluminum. the cable
run is fairly short and it is RG400. I have reseated the transponder, the
connection to the coax and to the antenna and I can't spot any obvious problem.
During the times that ATC were complaining I was seeing a solid reply to there
integrations so the receiver seems to be working fine. I'd appreciate anyone's
input on things to check or trouble shooting ideas.
Thanks, Paul
