View Full Version : remote controllable transponder

Anyone know of a transponder that can have the codes switched from a remote 
set of switches and a remote Ident button?  I guess I'm asking if there are 
access points in a connector where this could be done, or has some whiz 
already done this?  My helicopter likes it when I keep my hands on the 
controls.  Landing to change the transponder code is not something that is a 
reasonable alternative.

Dunno about changing the code remotely.  Some of the new push button
transponders might have support for that.  Remote ident is available,
one of the rental planes I learned on back in the dark ages had
remote ident on the yoke, and remote flip-flop.  Some avionics tech
must have had some extra switches and wire laying around, since
both were a bit ridiculous in a Piper Cherokee.  Avionics were
King, IIRC.

Microair have an external ident facility, but not code select.
