[arm-allstar] Node RX not repeating

[NV6V]

That explains it.  Thanks, Doug.
I started this project with an 888 but the short board was different 
from any of the examples I could find.  I bought it within the last 3 
months.  I took a guess at a pin on the back but guessed wrong!  Maybe I 
can take a pic and show it on this list.  Perhaps somebody knows this 
board by looking.
Thanks again!

Andy
