A much simpler way to get around it is to be sure you always have MONITOR turned on. You should be monitoring your output audio quality anyway. It will give you immediate notification when it is either locked on or forgotten. It doesn’t need to be loud, but if you can hear it, it will let you know it is still on. Also, most radios these days have a timeout timer that you can set for maximum transmit time. Set that to save the transmitter from destroying itself, or QRMing the rest of the people on the band.
