re WIDEn-N up to 3 hops... do you also have the following entered? USEALIAS 1 ON USEALIAS 2 ON USEALIAS 3 ON The DIGI ON only enables digipeating a beacon with a path that specifically includes the callsign in MYCALL... e.g. someone could use VK6WB,WIDE2-1 but if you didn't hear them direct, they wouldn't be digipeated by anyone else. On the other hand, if you entered ALIAS 4 VK6WB (assuming you aren't using an SSID) and also had PREEMPT 4 ON they could use WIDE2-2,VK6WB and you would digipeat them even if the WIDE2-2 hadn't been used up. I wouldn't recommend it though. I believe it would add a bit of QRM if you acted on the VK6WB and then heard a copy of the original beacon via another digi. I haven't tried it though. Want to give it a try and see if I'm right? re WIDEn-N up to 3 hops... do you have the following entered? USEALIAS 1 ON USEALIAS 2 ON USEALIAS 3 ON 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
