[arm-allstar] TX loop

Okay, maybe this does have something to do with the voice id?
I keyed up the node maybe 50 mins, no loops. Seemed fixed with the usb
config change.
Then the node announced itself, and instead of K6CBR, I hear
INVALIDOPTIONINPUTBOX. 3-4 loops followed the voice announcement. Now,
after the announcement, I am getting the random loops.
In rpt.conf:
;idrecording=/etc/asterisk/local/node-id
; Main ID voice
;idrecording=|iDE INVALID OPTION "--INPUTBOX,"/L
; Main ID CW
;idtalkover=|iDE INVALID OPTION "--INPUTBOX,"/L
; ID when signal present
idrecording=/etc/asterisk/local/node-id
Next, I ran node-config.sh and loaded the defaults, skipped iax and usb
setups... same 'Invalid...' options found in rpt.conf
Could they be linked?
