10.2.3.1 - Lost my transponder!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   updated my ifds and now my transponder seems to be stuck in standby mode.  It is the avidyne remote transponder that I control with the ifd.  When I type in a code and tap alt or anything it goes to standby.  Atc could not see my ads b or my squawk code.  I pulled the breaker twice in flight and tried everything I know.  We continued the flight into Asheville and we are departing tomorrow.  Anyone know of anything simple I can do to fix it?  Will Asheville let me depart?  Do i need to call them 1 hour before departure and request permission to depart?

	If it worked prior to the update, then you should check the IFD configuration Check RS-232 Port Configuration (Page 2) you should know which RS232 channel it is connected to Channel Input: AXP322 Channel Output: AXP322 Remote XPDR Configuration (Page 12) This page will configure the Avidyne AXP322 Remote transponder. .

	The settings for the remote AXP322 get RESET with the update to 10.2.3.1. Just go into the maintenance menu, and reenter them. The only other thing I needed to reenter (not on the transponder page) was the GPS height. * Orest

	Below are my settings, obviously you have to enter your own Hex Code. Edited by oskrypuch - 18 Aug 2019 at 12:00am
