Then why would we ever be asked to ident?


I often get asked to IDENT upon reaching a specific altitude when departing
IFR below radar coverage. Since it normally takes a few minutes to reach
the altitude where asked to do so, perhaps an IDENT is a way for the
controller to immediately be reminded that my aircraft has appeared, in the
event s/he has gone on to other tasks.
