I don´t think that the waterfal is the problem.
Commands to the rig and status from the rig, in remote operations, including waterfall, seems to respond quite ok.
Initialy the audio is also ok, but over time, say10 to 20 minutes of rceiving only, the audio is coming to the operators ears later and later, with more and more delay.
But the spectrum does not have that delay. You can see the spectrum from a QSO, when stations start and stop transmission, the audio comes after a long delay.
After half an hour of receivie only, the audio is delayed with several seconds.
Then, if PTT is activated for just briefly, the received audio is again coming in without delay.
So, when operating in receive mode, the delay is building up over time, but not for the waterfall or other status indicatiors.
I have not tried the TX audio for similar problems, but, i read that other operators report that when PTT is released, the transmitter stops sending before the last spoken word before PTT-release have been sent. The system should transmitt until the audio buffer is emptied. That indicates to me that there is isues in the TX handlig aswell.
