SVXLINK holds transmit open for a long time #670

I have svxlink (version 19.09.1-3) working, to a point. But, when I elicit a response, it does not stop transmitting (i.e., it holds the PTT key down) for what seems like a long time. Need help, please.
System: Raspberry Pi 3B connected to a Baofeng UV-82 (primary radio) ... see below.
Secondary Baofeng UV-82 transmitting to the primary radio on 438.875MHz
Both radios set for CTCSS of 110.9Hz (Transmit AND Receive)
I start svxlink from the console of the RPi.
On the secondary radio I press PTT and then *# and the primary radio starts to transmit the
station identification, and on the console svxlink announces "Tx1: Turning the transmitter ON".
At the end of the station id, svxlink announces "Tx1: Turnng the transmitter OFF" ... but does
NOT stop transmitting for about a full minute.
Is this correct operation, or should the transmitter shut off sooner?

The RPi is connected to the primary radio (BAOFENG UV-82) via an Easy Digi Kit
board with the following connections
Rpi to Digi Kit
Pin9 (GND) to Digi Kit Dig Gnd
Pin12 (GPIO18) to Digi Kit DTR
USB Sound Card MIC to Digi Kit "Audio to PC"
USB Sound Card SPK to Digi Kit "Audio from PC"
Digi Kit to Radio
Digi Kit Audio GND + MIC GND + PTT GND to Radio GND (2.5mm plug Shield (S of TRS))
Digi Kit Audio Out to Radio SPK+ (2.5mm plug Tip (T of TRS))
Digi Kit MIC IN to Radio Mic+ (3.5mm plug Ring (R of TRS))
Digi Kit PTT HI To Radio PTT (3.5mm plug Shield (S of TRS))
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
