[arm-allstar] Echolink troubles

[David McGough]

John,

You must pad the echolink node numbers to 6 digits. For example, 
connecting to echolink node 9999 would become:

*33009999

Not sure why you're not hearing telemetry---what are the telemdefault 
settings on the remote nodes? Try telemdefault=1
