Our current system has a hub node, that has Echolink on a private node number “1000”. Then we have another private node running on a raspberry pi, that ties back to the hub (node 1200). And a third node that is a RTCM (node 1100) that is connected to a RLC-Club Deluxe at a site. We are having a delayed echo effect on audio coming from Echolink on the private node, and also the private node running on the raspberry pi. When we disconnect the RTCM node, all echo’ing goes away. What am I missing here? Do we have to have GPS on that RTCM and another one here at the HUB to get this to stop? Thank you for any guidance. (I removed all private info below and replaced with x’s)
