transponder to standby

Quote
"Interesting.
We were taught to go to standby, set the new squawk, and return to ON,
The logic was to avoid the possibility of going through an emergency squawk (unlikely) or flicking through other squawks."

The Australian AIP requires the use of standby when changing codes and explains why.
