The current radio (2011) takes approximately 2 minutes to boot up and connect to the field. If they expect us to be ready in, say, 3 minutes, this is far too long to wait.
The previous Linksys gaming adapter (2009-2010) was slightly faster, I don't know exactly how much faster.
The IFI system (2000-2008) could boot up and establish a radio connection in 5 seconds, always.
