To IDENT or not to IDENT, that is the question...

What do you guys do when given a squawk code?


Enter the code.



Once you enter the code, is
that it, or do you then hit the IDENT key, even if not requested?


That's it, you don't IDENT without being instructed to.



My habit is to always hit IDENT so it makes it easier and faster (in this
area with realatively little traffic) to identify me positively on his
screen.


That doesn't make identification faster or easier.
