Hi Rich,
Maybe it's easiest to 'Menu - File - Audio - TX generate' a short wav file with the respective audio produced by FLdigi.
Before using the audio file, make sure to repeat the same Menu command to STOP generating (once done).
Then send the file over, given you don't transmit anything (intentionally), it can't be that huge and should be easy enough to attach to your next e-mail.
If you see an influence of RSID being toggled, you might have (inadvertently) activated the 'EOT ID' function, which is often a cause for trouble and, IMHO, doesn't help at all if activated. It sends, if active, a second RSID *after* ending your transmission. See the attached screenshot showing this setting, which I'd always recommend to keep turned OFF to avoid such side-effects and confusion on the air.
Depending on the DigiMode you have tried, there may also generally be some kind of preamble / postamble being auto-appended, even without any text. For example in the Thor and classic MFSK modes, there are these little SOT / EOT characters that 'frame' the actual text, and thus, even without any TX text, they will always be transmitted, which takes a little time. Or in the Olivia family modes, the alternating lo/hi/lo/hi tone sequence will (unless deactivated on purpose) be sent prior to and after ending any transmission.
That's why I have recommended to record (FLdigi generate) the audio in the mode you have been using and share it for further analysis.
73s and best regards
Tobias

I found most of the delay.
I automatically turn on RXID and TXID in my macros to select the modem protocol.
So fldigi must send the ID at the start of the transmission.
Not sure why it then sends something at the //end// of the transmission, though. Perhaps an essential part of closing the RSID protocol?
BUT...turning off RXID and TXID reduces the time to drop PTT from 5s to 2.2 s, so that is OK. And it means that PTT will always be held on after a transmission, if TXID is ON.
