Does anyone know which rotary dial transponders do a temporary suppression, and which do not?

My club has about 13 aircraft, with various types of transponders. All were recently swapped for Mode-S transponders, but this was a like-for-like swap. So some now have a Mode-S push-button transponder (where obviously this issue doesn't exist) and some have a Mode-S rotary-knob transponder. Can I safely assume that these transponders do a temporary suppression? I'd hate to have to trawl through 13 different manuals to find out.
