Yes, it definitely could be. Yaesu radios are really (really) bad about
timing-related issues. They can't read the stream anywhere near the baud
rate, they do no flow control, etc. It's a real struggle and the 2800
seems to be one of the worst.

If it is timing-related we can tweak that a bit. Although it may seem
counterproductive, I'd like to get the upcoming release snapped and
posted before we get into this, since it may be quite a bit of
back-and-forth before we get the timing resolved.

Thanks!
