I've just done a bit more playing with this.

r7822
Ubuntu 16.04
K3S USB CAT
Tx Delay = 0.0s

I use rigctld-wsjtx and have noticed that the delay is worse when other
clients are polling it. I can get the delay down to about 1 second by
removing other clients and reducing rigctld's poll_interval from the
default 500ms to zero, thus:

./rigctld-wsjtx -vvv -m 229 -r /dev/ttyUSB1 -poll_interval 0

This seems to be quite a bit quicker than controlling the rig directly
from WSJT-X. Does the minimum 1s poll interval in WSJT-X not apply with
NET rigctl?

I'm not yet sure how stable it will be with poll_interval removed.

As far as the FT8 protocol is concerned, what's the optimium delay for
audio to start after 0/15/30/45sec clock time?
