"Mike Ferrer" wrote in message ... Depends on the transponder. The Garmin GTX-330, for example, is software programmable and swapping out transponder requires keyboard entry of the mode S address by the technician. Not to mention recertification by a certificated repair station... Mike Thanks for the info. Sometimes I assume too much from my experience limited to 727 ... 767 & DC-10. JK "Jim Knoyle" wrote in message ... Actually, one of the connectors on the rack into which the transponder is installed has a set of contacts that are encoded with the code for that aircraft. *Any* transponder plugged into that position has the info for that specific airframe. Same kind of technique is used for CVR, FDR and several other boxes. |
