Loveys) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:32:15 AM PST US Subject: Avionics-List: Re: Transponder King KX76a From: "Mike Hoffman" Thanks Charles, Not quite what I'm looking for. I don't care if it doesn't have a dimmer feature. I just want it to light up when I turn it on. On my Icom A200 I was able to connect the panel light dimmer wire to a powered terminal (out of the back of the terminal plug and looped back in to a + terminal) and get the lights to turn on when I powered the radio up. I'm quite sure I can do the same with my transponder but need assistance with the pin out. Thank you for your reply.

From the pinout, for 14 volts put power to pin 2 and ground to pin 3 to get full bright. Use a dimmer on the power if desired.

The reference to the encoder is that some transponders switch the encoder power, unfortunately not the King.

Loveys" Subject: RE: Avionics-List: Re: Transponder King KX76a How about putting power in to pin 2 and looping pin 3 to pin 12?? You may have to put a resistor across 2-3 to allow enough current to operate the XPNDR. Just thinking... You could also wire the lights in parallel with the transponder (or form pin 12) and just pull the breaker to turn off the transponder. That way when you turn on the breaker, the lights will also come on.
