Along the same lines...when ATC gives a new transponder code....do you repeat the code or simply put it in the box without reading it back.

As a CFI I always taught to responder, "Roger" and just put the code in the box to minimize frequency time. I don't see in the AIM where it addresses this. ICAO, or the military, however...may require the readback. It's come to my attention that ATC prefers to have the code readback.

Anyone?
