Just hoping someone else has  run across this problem and better still has a solution. I have a new  Garmin 327 installed in a ragwing aircraft. When the Transponder is switched to  Alt. the correct altitude shows up on the Garmin but the controllers can't read  the altitude, the Ident function works. It's a stand alone Transcal  encoder.

                Thanks Kit

Probably an issue with the transponder antenna or connection between

the antenna and the transponder.  A marginal connection between the

xpdr and antenna can give a weak return signal that is strong enough

for Mode A / Ident but not strong enough for Mode C.  The correct

altitude readout on the Garmin 327 indicates that the encoder and

encoder-transponder connection is fine.



Good luck,

Henry
