Said:
I have been having intermittent transponder problems with my Garmin 327
transponder in my 360.

The transponder shows that it is being interrogated, however, ATC says
they
are not picking up my transponder (Txponder is set to active).

Matt, I have the very same problem, I have my transponder antenna located
behind the co-pilot's seat.  Every time they tell me they are not reading, I
try turning slightly and they are usually able to pick me up.  I am somewhat
concerned, but then I will go for a while with no problems.  It would be
nice to have a method to test the signal strength all around the airplane,
