Are there any technical limitations for extending the T/R interval by a few

Yes. FT8 was designed to work via very short multi-hop sporadic-E
openings. Slowing it down would compromise that.
How about a new submode for HF work then with - say - 20 second period?
It does test the operator's alertness, but it doesn't matter if it takes
a couple of T/R cycles to start the QSO. This seems to be normal for
both those calling CQ and those responding until the auto-seq kicks in.
It takes a bit of getting used to.
I believe that FT8 will become very popular once it gets
released for general use.
This means that when the bands are open there will
be a lot of messages scrolling down the Band Activity window
making it hard to locate and double-click on the right line.
A bit more thinking time would help with this.
