specific ICAO address from surface movement radar. It will not reply to mode A, C
and Mode S all-call interrogations.
c.
AUTO (replaces GND, above): Available when the transponder is configured to
automatically switch between ALT/GND automatically (see the SkyView System
Installation Guide for details). When AUTO is selected, the transponder will
automatically switch between ALT and GND modes - reflected in the transponder

using a combination of GPS and air data changes. Defaults to
ALT when GPS position is unknown.

suppressed.
e.

Big red “X” (covering
entire transponder status area): Indicates an error, either with
the transponder itself or in the communication between the transponder module
and SkyView. The transponder is not responding to interrogations. Check the wiring
and settings between the transponder module and SkyView if you are authorized to
maintain your aircraft. Contact Dynon Technical Support for further assistance.

Reply Status: The reply indicator illuminates when the transponder replies to
interrogations.
When connected properly, third party transponders such as the Garmin GTX 330
and GTX 327 can provide status as described above. However, they cannot be
controlled from the SkyView display as the SV-XPNDR-26X can.
