According to my local avionics shop, my ACK30 was working intermittently, so they replaced it with another used one.
This one may also be a problem, because it's encoding 500-600 feet higher than I'm flying, which is a real problem when you operate a lot under a bravo shelf.
I'm going to take it back to the shop so they can troubleshoot further, but I'm thinking I might just replace that encoder altogether with a new one; those ACK30s have a terrible reputation, apparently.
There are several Trans Cals out there that look promising, but I can't exactly which one I'd need, or if there are some other models you guys would suggest?
I have a GTX327 transponder, so I need a gray-code encoder according to the shop.
What would you recommend?
