If your
altimeter setting is not set to "local", his computer radar will
misinterpret the altitude ModeC information from your aircraft.




Your mode C reports a 29.92 altitude to ATC. ATC adjusts your reported
altitude for the local altimeter setting. You have no way of affecting
what your mode C reports, other than actaully changing altitudes.
