Don, you better seriously upgrade you airplane or get the transponder fixed.  I’m hoping for the airplane upgrade 😜

I switched to ADS-B early during the first rebate session in 2017. My Stratus ESB would not reset for a flight last Saturday. It was displaying 0273 from the last flight and there was no change when I pushed the VFR button.  I tried all of the numbers and only 0 and 4 would enter. I decided that 4400 was better than nothing. As I approached Mathis Field I contacted the tower at 10 miles and explained I was unable to change the squawk code.

Today I looked up the transponder codes reserved online and discovered that 4400 was reserved for SR-71 flights above FL 600.
