If you can read the altitude being sent by your encoder, it should be the same as your Altimeter with the altimeter set at 29.92 in the kollsman window. That's your pressure altitude, which is what your transponder transmits. ATC corrects the pressure altitude to indicated altitude using the local barometric pressure; same as you do by setting the Barometric Pressure on your altimeter... Changing the transponder will not affect the pressure altitude being passed to it from the encoder.
