[App_rpt-users] Echolink : Now hearing four (unwanted) quick bips -> RANGER hidden courtesy

[Buddy Brannan]

To be in compliance/play nice with other All Star nodes, make your Echolink node, if you only intend it to be accessed locally, as opposed to being on a public All Star node for anyone to get directly, start with 1. For instance, attach your echolink node to node 199 and define that in your rpt.conf instead of just 99.
