After being notified my encoder was way off 2 weeks ago I did a little troubleshooting. I ensured the electrical connection between the transponder and encoder was properly seated and snugged up a few slightly loose static system connections.
Today was clear so I did a Mode C check with New Orleans Approach. I carefully set my altermenter, took off and established straight and level flight at 2000'. MSY gave me a code and reported my altitude as 2000'. I plan to try again tomorrow but a bit higher, maybe 4000' or so...
My Heading Indicator was working fine also.
