[WriteLog] writelog via kam standard tnc in clone mode

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Gilles,

I do not know what a "Kam stdr" is.

In the Kantronics KAM and KAM Plus, this startup delay is built into the 
firmware and is not adjustable. I had a discussion with Kantronics about 
this when the KAM was first introduced. They choose not to change it because 
the engineers felt it was necessary to give the receiving end some time to 
synch up before starting to decode data.

The HAL, AEA, and MFJ TNC's did not have this hard-coded limitation.
