Thanks to all for the many opinions and advice reference my Ercoupe VFR 
24 month Transponder check. As you know I received many different 
prices ( $197 to $300) from several Avionic shops and as many opinions 
as to what is required. From taking the transponder out of the aircraft 
to bench check it to a complete static check as there was no such thing 
as a VFR transponder check. I checked one more shop today at the 
Leesburg Va airport, which bases several jets and other large aircraft. 
I thought they would have an extremely high price . To my surprise I 
was told the check is done at the aircraft, the transponder is set at 
2992 and various altitudes are entered to calibrate the accuracy of the 
readout. Cost is $ 85 including log book entries. Needless to say the 
Coupe will be heading to Leesburg next week , which is only a 20 minute 
flight. Thanks again for all your advice.
