[REDBUTTON_CTRL]

Sounds like you have a simplex radio connected to the node and it by 
default is in full duplex mode.

All new installed nodes are in full duplex repeater mode.

Set duplex =0 in rpt.conf and in usbradio.conf.

the moment the radio hears something it trys to repeat but your radio is 
only half duplex.
