hmm because they retained their old transponder and didnt wire up the blanking  wire to the transponder ?????

978 UAT is not used in Australia.

yeah, but naa but the same error may apply with the logic.

Maybe the blanking logic doesnt work or something, but I'd expect the blanking isnt connected etc, or blanking signals not compatible.. Uavionix seem to know what they're doing, having had direct conversations with their chief of engineering.
