Connection to the radio times out after a period of inactivity #10

I would like the radio to stay connected even if there is no activity on the command (TCP) channel of communication so that my flow does not have to constantly reconnect.

The radio provides a ping command specifically for this purpose. The Radio object should schedule a timer to ping within the timeout needed to maintain the connection. Also configuration of the timeout should be investigated and adjusted to what seems appropriate.

Workaround is you can send your own ping from your flow.
