What do you do when requested to "recycle" your transponder?


I check to see if something isn't set correctly, but othewise I don't do
anything. Turning the transponder off and on again practically guarantees
that it won't transmit for 30 to 45 seconds, because all modern
transponders are build to wait that long, before starting to transmit, to
allow for warm-up.

If the transponder is already warm then it will transmit right away.
It's not a process that has to be repeated because the switch was turned
to STBY and back.
