To keep users informed of the changes by this new n-N
paradigm, we should label our new digis in a consistent
manner for the benefit of the users. I suggest:
S overlay for SSn-N's "R,W,SSn" in BText
K overlay for LNKn-N's, "R,W,##Kn" in BText for interstate ##
X overlay for dual LNKn-N's "R,W,##Kn,81Kn" for I-90 and I-81
L overlay for LAN/LINKn-N's "R,W,##Kn,SSn" for I-90 and State
I expect most if not all such digis will actually be just the X or L
variety unless they want to still support WIDEn-N, then they would
use the S or K for the new n-N usage and add Wn in the BText
to show that it still supports WIDEn-N. For example:
K overlay for "R,W,##Kn,Wn" in BText for interstate ## and WIDEn-N
S overlay for "R,W,SSn,Wn" in BText for State SS and WIDEn-N
Of course we keep the existing overlays:
R for RELAY only digis
W for WIDE or RELAY,WIDE only digis
T for RELAY,WIDE with callsign substitution Tracing (PacComm
ROMS)
N overlay for WIDEn-N's, "R,W,Wn" in BText
U for UIdigi
D for DIGI_NED
