POCSAG channel steering feature, PTT is asserted before the radio has finished changing channel #333

Would it be possible to insert a 1 second or even 1/2 second delay (perhaps user configurable even) between the time that the POCSAG channel steering pin is asserted and the PTT Pin is asserted. This would improve reliability by ensuring that the radio has had sufficient time to switch channels before PTT to send a POCSAG message. This would also possibly allow for an external microcontroller to send change channel commands on other brand radios that do not have the Motorola built in channel steering feature (i.e. I have a radio without channel steering, but I can send channel change commands to the radio via a serial connection from a microcontroller.)
