After a power failure, some radios require that the PTT not be asserted for some amount of time. You might need this if you have a tube power amplifier that needs to warm up, a Yaesu DR-1X that might lock up, or a Kenwood TKR-x50 Version 1 that switches modes.
This example uses a User Timer (see page 20-1) that is started by the Power-Up Macro (see page 5-28). Macros disable the transmitter PTT (see page 11-26), then reenable it after the delay time.
