Transmit on 878UV2+

Is it normal for transmit on packet to stay keyed for about long period of time? Trying to connect to local packet gateway and have never been successful on VHF. Transmit was keyed for about a minute straight so I just cancelled the connection. However the radio was still in transmit so I had to power off the radio and force quit the app. Not sure what’s going on. Don’t have a second radio with me to listen to what it’s doing.

What TNC are you using?
