Now THAT's interesting. Does anyone know if there's a bench check for
the encoder itself? I'm surprised that the avionics shop didn't suggest
the encoder as being the culprit. Is it common?

I know it takes my encoder about 7 minutes to warm up. It is connected
to my GPS and I get "No Altitude" until it does. The transponder will
have its own "encoder" within it. It may also take awhile to warm. I
have the KT78. It would be nice if there was a little ready light.
