Thanks Ken, That did it. I have it all tweaked in now and the sound is much better. Not getting any complaints from the Echolink crowd any longer. I wasn't sure where the 2 gain statements needed to be. I guessed wrong and had them in echolink.conf. So now I have that Hi Fi audio from GSM land ........

I have been happy enough with the default settings, but I am guessing if you have nothing in your node stanza (in rpt.conf) you will be 3 dB low on transmit audio. Remember that E/L is GSM ... same thing they use on overseas cell phones. So if it like a bad overseas cell phone call, then you have it perfect.

The audio reports from the Echolink side are very thin audio, no highs or lows and low level. I have went through my RF link and also through Webtranceiver with the same results. If I do parrot mode on my link, my audio sounds great. The issue seems to be in the interconnect to Echolink. Also I tried adjusting the link TX & RX echolink audio levels but I can't hear any change no matter what amounts of + or - gain I put in the etxgain or erxgain statements in the echolink.conf file. Any ideas???
