Hi again Bill, I've just got round to repeating the tests with the hard-wired 
PTT signal 
generated by the G4ZLP interface unit disconnected from the rig and, although 
it's quite 
difficult to be absolutely sure, I don't think the results were significantly 
different to what I'd 
previously reported - there still seemed to be a bit of a lag between 
initiating Tune and the rig 
actually going into Tx mode and the onset of the audio.  However...

It's just occurred to me that a (possibly significant) factor in my setup is 
that I've got a K9JM 
CI-V router between the PC and the IC-7610's CI-V port to which the CAT 
commands from 
the PC are sent - the presence of the K9JM device in the CAT data connection 
between PC 
and rig will almost certainly be adding a bit of latency into the CAT command 
path.

Although the virtual COM port connection between the PC and the K9JM router 
runs at 
38.4kbps the CI-V connection from the router to the 7610 is only running at 
9.6kbps - I think 
that's the default for the K9JM router's CI-V ports which I didn't change when 
I added the 
router into my system a couple of years ago.

So, my observations of a Tx-start delay when using the Rig split option and CAT 
for PTT in 
my system should probably be heavily caveat'ed and taken with a large pinch of 
salt - there 
are potentially several aspects of my particular overall configuration that 
could be leading, or 
at least contributing, to what I've observed.  Perhaps I should try using a 
direct USB 
connection between PC and the IC-7610 for the CAT control - I'll see if I can 
do that 
sometime.
