After I updated the skyview to the latest firmware I followed instruction for updating the transponder firmware . Once finished the transponder update instad of transponder status there were PWR CICLE or something like that. After about 10 minutes nothing changed and I restarted the Skyview manualy. After that I see a transponder fail warning and I go to serial port configuration and the transponder don't send information to the Skyview.

What I have done wrong and what is to do for getting the transponder working again?

Looks like others may have had the same issue before.  Maybe this previous thread will help out a bit:

As the transponder loading page on the SkyView says, after the update, the TRANSPONDER must be power cycled, not SkyView. Because of the way the certified loader works, it needs this.

So, go turn everything off and boot it back up and it will be fine.
