To delay or not?

After finally getting frustrated by so many extremely short transmissions interrupting my Uniden scanners, I set all channel delays to 0 seconds via Proscan. What's interesting is that for the Oklahoma City metro trunk system, the scanning resumes immediately after the end of transmission, as I would expect, but the OKWIN statewide system does not drop the carrier (and the scanning resumes) until about 2 seconds after the transmission ends, which results in the default 2 second delay becoming about 4 seconds. Is the carrier drop delay in the OKWIN system something that is programmed by the system radio technicians? It would be useful if Uniden scanners could be set to ignore the channel delay setting for transmissions of less than a certain length, like the Proscan recorder function does.
