Richard the remote base way of doing echolink does not have the problem you
talk about. The receiver of the repeater does not have a signal on it so
any dtmf tone would be heard by the repeater. I ran my echolink for a while
like that . If your repeater as a control receiver on it that also would be
able to turn off the remote base.
