"unverified" Mode C. When a Mode C readout is wrong, where is the problem? Is the encoder producing bad data? Is the data path between the encoder and the xponder corrupting the data? Is the xpdonder corrupting the data? Is the RF pulse from the xponder being corrupted? Is the receiver not decoding it right?

The problem is you spent $200 on an encoder 10 years ago and expect it
to work for a lifetime. You very rarely if ever see a bad mode C on an airliner. Roy Smith wrote: wrote: "unverified" Mode C. When a Mode C readout is wrong, where is the problem?

The implication is that airliners use better transponders and/or associated equipment. What are they using? George Patterson Brute force has an elegance all its own.
