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?
