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?

I have my node id straight off.

it's set in rpt.conf;

[wait-times]
telemwait=750
idwait=1000
unkeywait=250
calltermwait=50

I like my system is -snappy-. ;-)
