Narrative:

On takeoff, tower cleared us on runway heading to 10000 ft. On climb out, tower advised that we had wrong squawk. The captain was having a problem answering controller (he has problems with radio). Controller kept calling , and was getting upset that we were not calling back. First officer was PF, and talked to controller on about the 3RD call. (Mountains were all around airport.) when switched to departure control, had us turn 310 degrees. He stated that 310 degrees was standard departure. 310 degrees is not on any of the commercial charts. It's a local thing. If the same thing happens in IMC, and with an engine out, there might be some real problems!
