Bursts of packets can cause issues with some receiving TNCs that have 
limited buffer space.

IIUC, if the device has multiple packets to transmit it can either transmit them separately with breaks in between, or can transmit all of the data packets all together with no breaks.  The manual that comes from Microsat says that 'separately' is the standard in APRS which got me thinking: if there is so much waste with the key up times, why not transmit in bursts to remove that waste?  What am I missing?
