Dana, What happened to raise the question was on the way to Va. the other day the controller had given me the permission and transponder code, as soon as I started to enter the code I lost transponder communication - contacted the controller and he reported no return and stay clear of class B I diverted to go around and also had already reported for 8500' while the class B ceiling was 7000' I skirted the class B but was still well within the mode C ring with out it operating. . I continued to monitor the approach radio and was well aware of the corridor being used. I just want to find out if I'm in trouble before someone tells me that with handcuffs.
