Our 327 is a few weeks old. According to the manual, the unit is
supposed to have Auto Mode switching from STBY to ALT on takeoff, and
then back again on landing. The takeoff part works fine....as soon as
the wheels leave the ground, the unit will switch to ALT and the timers
will start.



Not a good thing at an airport that has the new ground radar. KPVD,
for example requires the transponder be on while on any active part of
the airport.
