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.

That's true if you go to STBY and back, but not neccessarily true if you
go to OFF and back. I know for a fact that my fairly new KT-76A will stop
replying for 30 seconds if I cycle it to OFF and back, even if it's
already warm. I don't think the transponders actually check for
warmth. They just wait the 30 seconds after each power on from OFF.
