found the fix, auto gain control on the cm108 is getting turned on.

Question is why is it getting turned on?
If I open alsamixer and turn it off, no echo.
On restarting asterisk, it comes back on.

I tried storing the current settings with alsactl store and rebooting.

Same thing. At least I know what's causing it. I was going crazy
thinking it was some wiring crosstalk or something.

I am getting a 1/2 second echo, like
you have another radio on in the room.

I did the normal tuneup.
got these parameters.
rxmixerset=125
txmixaset=400
txmixbset=0
rxvoiceadj=2.725307
rxctcssadj=4.019996
txctcssadj=300
rxsquelchadj=850

I tried with/without the rxboost. no change.
I have battled this in the past and I just
don't remember what the fix was. It's been a
2 years since I have had a node up. trying to
get back in the swing of things again.

I did bring up alsamixer, the card looks good, mic is not in playback mix.
