With DIGI ON in the T2, it should digipeat via the call in the T2. To use it that way, you could use a path like GM1YMI,WIDE2-1 assuming that GM1YMI was the MYCALL in the T2. If the T2 could be heard by a WIDEn-N digi, it would act on the remaining WIDE2-1. However, if the T2 didn't hear the beacon from the VX-8, your beacon would end there. Digi paths are used in order... with the exception of the T2 which if it had PREEMPT <n> turned on could act on an alias with un-used aliases ahead of the "pre-empted" alias. To get it to respond to WIDEn-N you could... ALIAS 1 WIDE HOPLIMIT 2 USEALIAS 1 DIGIID 1 ON or if you wanted it to respond to WIDE1-1 only... ALIAS 1 WIDE1 HOPLIMIT 1 USEALIAS 1 DIGIID 1 ON 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
