ICOM 3210A, delay on "turn around" on TWO METERS, none on 440?

I recently purchased an ICOM3210A mobile dual band radio. This rig
is a 2M/440 rig. I'm not sure if I just didn't notice it at first, but
I believe it just started acting strangely. I'm not sure if this is
normal, but here's what it's doing.
When I transmit on 2 Meters and let up on the PTT key, the radio
takes a SMALL (100-200 milliseconds) to TURN AROUND (go to RECEIVE).
On 440, it appears to immediately switch back. Is this something that
might be blown from a bad antenna connection, or is this something I can
modify?
I have seen people talking about modifying an ICOM 3200 to REDUCE the
delay for packet. Is this the delay referred to? It isn't really a bother
to functionality except when on autopatches when people don't know to wait
before responding.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
