For now you could call a startup-macro that plays the cw id....

It works fine - But I have an issue where when I start the node up, the PTT is being held open until such a time as the node sends a CW ID, and then it will drop after the ID. This is far from ideal, as the TX can be held open for up to 15 minutes at a time! Is there a known fix for this? or can I setup a cron/scheduler event to send a one off CWID, say 10 seconds after initialisation to make the PTT drop? If the answer is yes, then how do I do it? Thanks, James - 29681
