While flying through class c airspace, a controller reported that my transponder was squaking the wrong code. Is there a simple solution to fixing this?

Pete,

I didn't know there is a KY-97A. But assuming your transponder has the
familiar four switches (and not a keypad or pushbuttons): about the only
simple thing you can do without opening the unit is to cycle the code
select switches through their entire ranges a few times.

Switch contacts can oxidize (and fail to make contact) if they're not
actuated occasionally and many of us leave our transponders with "1200"
set for long periods of time.

Best,

That makes sense. I'll cycle thge switches. This plane sat for a couple years before I bought it
