I'm TRYING to Squawk 3026 for Cryin' out loud!

[Guest]

Flying my Carenado Cessna 206 on the Kansas vfr flight and all is going well until handoff to center where they request me to squawk 3026 and Ident. I punched in the numbers and hit the I key as stated in the directions for FSX and nothing happens except a pissy controller continuing to repeat her command.Any ideas? That was not a fun first flight!Paul Dahlen

Try repeating the response verifying the indent code. The dialogue box will change color when VoxATC recognizes your call letters but that doesn't always mean that it has recognized the rest of what you said. When asked to squawk I usually repeat the command immediately, then change the code on the transponder and hit the ident button.
