Yes I agree, the SPA3000 can be a bear with echo on the PSTN. I did find that using older fimware helped some and that the levels - there are 4 settings - FXO/FXS in/out can be juggled to help. I also found out after adding a Budgetone 200 that I had much less echo problem going through it and the spa3000 FXO - vs. using the local analog phones on the spa3000 fxs port to FXO port. So some of the answer might be to get rid of as much (or all) local analog as you can. I plan to buy more hard sip phones and do that here eventually. This is ultimately more flexible as each extension has it's own number and they can dial each other as well as dial more then one place simutaneously. The big problem is that SIP phones are generally ugly and black and not styled for home use.
