Squawk codes have different uses depending on which part of the World they are being used. "7777 Non-discrete code used by fixed test transponders (RABMs) to check correctness of radar stations (BITE) (Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, USA)" Read the full article on Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_(aviation)

Thanks speedbird, I had done some research on the code, but just thought it was interesting to post as the static testers in UK which caused some interests over the last few years based in the Midlands, do not show what could be thought of as registration numbers like this German one, nor do they show a sqk code if I recall. Things like this keep the grey matter flowing.
