I've sent this query to funke tech support, but am hoping somebody here might have seen it before and can help.
I have a funke TRT800H-OLED Mode S transponder (SW Version 5.2 HW Version 6.0), and I am trying to access the SETUP function, following the Setup Procedure described at para. 4.5 of the Manual, and the unit is not responding as expected.
At para. 4.5.4 the procedure is described as:
Strangely, the behaviour that I am experiencing is not as described at Step 3 or Step 4 above.
"ENTER SETUP" is never displayed. Instead, the counter at the upper right hand corner of the display cycles to 99 (actually "10!") and when I release the "ID" button (at any time) the display reverts initially to the "STBY" screen and then quickly to a screen with no number in the upper right, a 4 digit transponder setting in the normal selected position and - along the bottom row - a string of characters which are the ICAO Code, "21", and then the aircraft registration/Flight ID.
At that point I can change the Flight ID, but nothing else.
Has anybody seen this before? And ideally, can they advise how to solve my problem and allow me at access Setup?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: A further bit of info that I now realise may be required - and which actually might explain the issue.
The adaptor (connector and cable) I have is the "TRT800EM". It seems that this might be the culprit, as it may not provide full interface capability. That's annoying, and the correct cable is €145.00 plus P&P, plus a rewiring job. Grr.

At para. 4.5.4 the procedure is described as:
- 1. Start up transponder
2. Ensure the transponder mode is "STBY"...
3. Press "ID". A counter is shown at the upper right corner. Hold "ID" till "ENTER SETUP" is dispayed.
4. After release of "ID" the first setup menu is displayed.
