Co., Inc. > M/S 232-E, P.O.Box C-9090, Everett, WA 98206 I have a copy of the SenSym 1984 Pressure Sensor Handbook, 1255 Reamwood Avenue Sunnyvale, Ca 94089 (408) 744-1500. On page 9-35 is applications note ssan-12 which describes a solid-state altimeter for Transponder Applications. This is basically a barometer using their LX1802AN absolute pressure transducer. Hope this helps. geo
