Challenged
Pattern Altitude
I went to fly home yesterday and while I was waiting to depart, the controller had me recycle my transponder, as it was showing me at 200 ft (sea level airport); recycling it didn't fix the problem. I took off and noticed that my Monroy traffic device was reporting my transponder altitude at 300 feet less than the altitude that my altimeter and GPS were indicating. The transponder is a Garmin GTX320 I believe, although the pictures I've seen online of other GTX320's indicate that it has a "Test" mode, that I don't believe mine has. Do I need a new blind encoder, or is there an adjustment for this?
