A few misconceptions here... "digi on" turns on digipeating on your callsign only. For alias digipeating, the command is "usealias 1 on". I would expect hoplimit n to limit on n and N for WIDEn-N, but it seems to only limit on N. This means that with "alias 1 WIDE" and "hoplimit 1 1", you will be digipeating WIDE3-1, WIDE2-1, and WIDE1-1. To solve this, use "alias 1 WIDE1" and "hoplimit 1 1". Now you will only digipeat WIDE1-1 (for alias 1). > Now for an operational question, does the 'high' digi give the station hops > based on the WIDE2-1 at that point? If the HT is using WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1, and the mobile digipeats the WIDE1-1, yes, the high level digipeater will digipeat the WIDE2-1 hop. Tom KD7LXL
