While many choose to ignore the 2 year requirement, as Glenn correctly points
out by posting the reg, a transponder verification check is required every 24
months.

I'm one of the many up to this point. I read the reg's on when / where
transponder is required, which I basically knew, but with a fair amount
of searching I'm unable to come up with the specifications the unit is
required to meet and if there is a different requirement between IFR and
VFR operations. The young tech at the shop, speaking with a heavy
Chinese accent and hard to understand, quoted two different prices.
One for a static system check and the other for a transponder check.
The first was double the second.
As a lawyer never ask a question unless he already knows the answer, I'd
like to know what my requirements are before I go back to the shop.
Jeff indicated the encoder is adjustable. The tech indicated it was
not. I've not gotten by the hangar to verify which encoder I have
installed and I'm out of town for Christmas so that will have to wait.
I could just put an inop tag on the transponder and fly legal till I
need it for nest years Gathering but I'd really like to get it operating
"legally" or at least functionally accurate.
Merry Christmas to all.................
