General Discussion / Using PAW to test own Transponder
« on: November 08, 2020, 11:07:16 am »
Hi,
We have a Garmin GTX 35R connected to and controlled by a Garmin G3X in our Sling 4. We also have a G5 with own GPS antenna on the same CANBUS
Following the recent article in the LAA Mag on EC I wanted to use our PAW to test the output and specifically confirm the SIL code being output.
I had previously done this during the build stage with an older version of PAW sw on the bench, and whilst the airframe was in a barn in Suffolk - the hex code appeared as expected in the Traffic table.
Whilst testing yesterday in a hangar at Denham, I did not see our hex code in the table, but did see 15+ targets of various types.
I even tried changing the HEX code in PAW (different profile) temporarily to avoid it being filtered out but still nothing. Not sure when the filtering of own Hex code takes place?
My question is therefore, should I be seeing our own TXPDNR whilst stationary in a hangar if it set to ON and 7000? And if so what set up do I need to make this happen.
The advice in LAA TL3.03 seems to imply this should work - so what was i doing wrong!
Cheers Rod
