A transmission time-out timer is a valuable suggestion. We have a TS-480 
and a TS-2000 serving two remote radios here in Boulder, CO. Combined 
these radios have provide more than 4 years of remote service. In that 
time the transmission time-out timers have terminated transmissions more 
than once because the user has lost contact with the radio while 
transmitting. In my opinion a transmission time-out timer is not a nice 
feature on a radio providing remote service, it is a necessity.
