Lynn, If you want to have your OT2 act as a personal digi, just set up an alias that is unique, and turn on preemptive digipeating on that alias.
In the HT, set your path to WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,LYNN,WIDE2-1. In the regular network, you'll get picked up by regular and fill-in digis on the first hop. On the next hop, you'll get handled only by WIDE digis. The next hop is your unique alias, which will cause an end to the packet being handled. When you are in the neighborhood of your personal digi, the OT2 will preempt up to the LYNN alias, and then the next hop will be the final WIDE2-1 in the list. If you are in range of both your personal digi, and any other digi, there should be no issues, as the main digipeater network will anti-dupe no matter where it is handling the packet in the outgoing paths.
