Hello, Sorry to jump in without having followed all of the discussion, but has anyone suggested looking for a dual audio path in the repeater? Depending upon the equipment used, for example a commercial repeater adapted for amateur use with a controller added, may have the original audio path in tact as well as a second path via the controller. Normally, this condition would have a phase delayed distortion effect but if the controller has a delay option then echo is very possible. However, I don't think the condition would come and go unless there was an intermittent condition causing the secondary or unwanted path to come and go. Is there any receiver voting in use on this system?
