Don't go to STBY

An ATCO once told me never go to STBY as, if you do, they will lose you on their screen momentarily until the new squawk comes up but, given the idiosyncratic behaviou of computers, you may just not show up on his screen again, then he really has a problem! I believe this to be applicable to SSR, perhaps some ATCOs would comment?
