<-- Hi Jim;  I have also noticed this on my chan_irlp node (2304).  I 
believe part (if not all) of the issue is due to the fact that app_rpt 
and irlp use different audio levels as the calibration standard (3.2kHz 
and 3.5kHz deviation respectively).  Of course then there is the ADPCM 
to ulaw conversion...

I have previously discussed this with Jim (WB6NIL); I know that he'll 
come up with a fix!

HTH,

Ramesh.
