... Wow, lots of misunderstanding out there. Recycle transponder means to turn it off and then back on again. "Check your transponder on" means you have taken off and we are not receiving it when we expect to. "Check mode C on" means we are getting the transponder but no altitude information. If we are getting the transponder return and an altitude but you didn't tag up properly it is because the code is wrong. 75% of the time it is because you entered it wrong, the other 25% of the time is because you are hangaing on to that piece of **** and even though you entered the code right it decided to transmit a different code. Banging on it usually clears it up. 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? They aren't really asking me to go to STBY, enter the new squawk, then go back to ALT, are they? Is this correct phrasiology on their part? Jay Beckman PP-ASEL AZ Cloudbusters Chandler, AZ

They should be saying..."reset transponder, squawk xxxx."
