BUT IT WONT WORK. Just tried it and the KPC-3
doesnt like the "WIDE0-1". OK, so I tried the following
and it *does* work! So here would be the proposal
for those areas that still want to have lots of home-digis.
1) We eliminate RELAY completely.
2) Any FILL-IN digi that used to be a RELAY if it really is
needed, will change his RELAY alias to "WIDE2-1"
3) All DIGIS eliminate RELAY and fully support WIDEn-N
4) The recommended 2 hop mobile path in these areas is:
VIA WIDE2-1,WIDE1-1
All DIGIS and all fill-in home WIDE2-1 digis will respond
to the first hop and only the real digis will respond to the
following WIDE1-1.
And in the remote areas where 3 hops are acceptible
then mobiles can use the WIDE2-1,WIDE2-2 path if
they really think they are that important.
But remember, this is ONLY For those areas that still think
that home station digis are required in their area. I don't
think in most of the USA this is really needed so the general
recommendation for mobiles remains just WIDE2-2 or maybe
WIDE3-3 out in the real boonies. And if locals want then
they can support the WIDE2-1 home digis.
But lets get rid of the multiplication DUPE problem of RELAY
now... This new idea of replaceing it with the home station
alias of WIDE2-1 should make those areas happy, and let
the rest of us get on with the job of eliminating the dupe
multiplying RELAY...
Will this work?
