Here's one that's maybe a bit different...

Tucson, AZ Clearance Delivery gives me a squawk of YYYY for departure from
the Class C airspace.

When I get handed off to ZAB Center, I check in with them for flight
follwing and the controller says "Recycle Transponder, Squawk XXXX."

They only mean to enter the new code, right?


Right.



They aren't really asking me to go to STBY, enter the new squawk, then go
back to ALT, are they?


No.



Is this correct phrasiology on their part?


No, correct phraseology would be just "Squawk XXXX".
