Transponder FAIL message

Hi,

Third flight and the transponder came up with a consistent "FAIL" message. The manual just says this is an internal failure - not too helpful.

The box runs through the self test and menu functions are available (e.g. timers), so there's obviously power there. Anyone seen this before? Could it just be a loose plug or the aerial fallen out perhaps?

I'll need to take the panel cover off to see if anything got disconnected. I'm hoping it's not a duff unit.

Cheers...Keith
