Was just browsing the FAA Registry and noticed they have made a change. They have actually added some useful information for those that have a Mode S Transponder. They now show your Mode S code in both hex and octal.

But all my computers are 64 bit. So do I just multiply the Mode S hex code by 4 (0100 or 0x04 ) to enter it or is there some special DOS Compatibility Mode I need to change to for code entry. After that is done, how do I download the Mode S database into my FLAIRM so I can properly identify the glider I am leaching off of.
