What is the purpose of delaying RF output after activating a transmitter’s keying line to an external amplifier?

AnswerTo allow time for the amplifier to switch the antenna between the transceiver and the amplifier output

An external amplifier needs a short interval to switch its antenna path before RF arrives from the transceiver.
