Hey folks,
I just put a new GTX 330 Mode S tranponder in my RV-8 today. It seems to work great, displaying the TIS data beautifully, but it doesn't seem to do any "automatic airborne determination." No problem, I just turn it on after takeoff, but wondering why it won't seem to turn on automatically.
I have the GPS hooked up and inputting groundspeed, and it senses altitude as well. It is my understanding the thing is supposed to come on when it senses an altitude increase, or a groundspeed greater than 35 knots.
Anybody out there got any experience with this?
Thanks,
Rich
