I attempted adding a new node (2424) onto my existing system where I have 2182 and 2248 running.
2182 is a real node using a usbfob; 2248 is my chan_dstar node.
I followed the instructions in the ACID admin guide when adding the new node - modified the 4 files as instructed (rpt.conf, iax.conf, extensions.conf and usbradio.conf).
That all went fine - got node 2424 setup and reporting to the stats page. I was able to use CLI and connect 2182 to 2424. I then noticed that there was no audio passing from 2182 over to 2424.
I then tried issuing DTMF from 2182 and no go - CLI did not show my DTMF!
Speaking with Jon (VA3RQ) who recently setup a 2 node system, we edited the rpt.conf and usbradio.conf files such that the 2 nodes specified Radio/usb0 and Radio/usb1 respectively. Similarly, we renamed and edited the usbradio_tune_usb.conf file to reference usb0, and also renamed the file name to usbradio_tune_usb0.conf and usbradio_tune_usb1.conf respectively.
No luck - still no audio into the (original) fob. Unfortunately, I'm unable to test audio into the new fob since the mods are not complete!
Since I had saved all of the original files, I rolled back to the original 4 files (single node, 2182) and unfortunately, I have the same symptoms - no audio into the fob. In fact when I go into debug mode, I do not even see a carrier from the fob.
Audio out of the fob works fine!
Is it possible that I've messed up something else when trying to add the second node - i.e., something other than the 4 files mentioned that would have an impact on the fobs ability to sense any of the inputs?
I don't know where the problem would be off-hand, but what I would try
going back to a single node system, delete the tune file(s) and
gradually add things until it either works, or you can determine the
thing that breaks it. Do things one step at a time noting the results at
each step. Then revert back to the prior step to see if functionallity
is restored.
One thing that mildly concerns me is that usbradio_tune.conf should
never, ever be copied. Tuning must be done from scratch on an addtional
nodes as they are added.

<-- Hi Steve; Thanks for your response. I found the problem last night.. a broken wire off pin 48 on the CM108 (still using my very first prototype fob, which has been cruising with the hood off all this time).
I'll add the second node back later this evening or over the weekend - depends if I can get a new PC here in time to build 2424.
