Trouble with IFF transponder settings

Which is purely my issue, bad hearing.

I cannot tell, or having a hell of a time determining if I am setting the modes to M-3/A first, then to M-C?

No problem with MODE 3/A code, that is clear.

Plus not clear if I am setting the master mode dial to STBY before all that or during/after.

Many thanks in advance.

Pointy end hurt! Fire burn!!

I think you're talking about Mission 1. I found that part confusing as well, only sure of the Mode 3/A four digit code.

Yes, sorry forgot to mention Mission 1. Will try it with just the Mode 3/A setting.

Still not clear on order of operations for Stdby to Norm. I think you flip Norm before take off on Transponder, but still not clear on when you select Stdby in which sequence of that cold start.

I think I recalled the mission asking you to change the transponder to Norm before takeoff.  IRL in the US civilian ops, it's been a thing for transponders to be turned on prior to taxiing, I suspect this is now the case in the military to.
