I haven't figured out how to do replies when I only get the digest in gmail. Anyway, Steve, re this:
I don't THINK the receiver dropout and the EchoLink inbound are related. The problem COULD be radio_relax. (The DTMF decoder is falseing) Though I wonder about the duration of the dropout. How did you set receive levels?

I was monitoring the Asterisk console this morning during a QSO on the repeater and DID see a number of DTMF false messages. They were all just a matter of 10-100 milliseconds, but there did seem to be a disruption of the audio when they came along. I didn't tie the two together in my head because there didn't seem to be a one to one correlation, if you get my drift. I set the receive levels using radio-tune-menu. It was all done onsite at the repeater with MINIMAL equipment (an HT.) I have since done some tuning on it (especially the receive levels) from home during typical QSOs. Bill
