Using Raspberry Pi 3 B with 440mhz DVAP, with DSTAR Commander. Can get the Echo Test to work on reflectors when the DVAP is connected to the laptop. But cannot get the Echo Test to work when using the DVAP with the RPi. LINK and UNLINK work ok too. Any suggestions? Using a Kenwood TH-D74A.

The echo test is not supported on all reflectors. In any event, it's a function of the reflector, not the hotspot--AFAIK, all of the legacy DPlus (aka REF) reflectors support echo on module E. Many of the XRF reflectors do not, and DCS uses module Z where the echo test is enabled.
