All of the configuration options, including the digi settings, are non-volatile and will stick across restarts.
I would be careful about digipeating while driving. You wind up with multiple digis transmitting at once, and in theory (Bob's fratricide concept) a station will only hear one digi because of the FM capture effect. Unless you happen to be right on the boundary between two digis, anyway. But with a mobile, you've potentially got several dB of flutter from multipath and such. If you're the strongest digi for 1/10th of a second, and then flutter drops your signal and another digi is strongest for 1/10 of a second, no one's going to be able to copy anything. If there are no other digis around, then I don't see a problem. Scott Pete Lilja wrote: > > > For the first time today I turned on the digipeating function in my > T2-135 through the Nuvi.
