transponder
Kevin

most of the time it is a voltage regulator inside that goes south when hot. replacement cost is about 5 dollars.

I had my transponder fail last year into Newark and cost 300 dollars to repair regulator. Now have dual transponders and extra blind encoder! Figured after 9/11 and with border crossings you are dead in the water without one.

Suggest you go for a backup. you can get factory refurbished KT76C for about 1K and blind encoder for 150$. Need a xfer switch.
