[aprssig] New n-N settings for ui-digi

[Ron Stordahl]

Bruce et al

I did some quick remote sysop access to a nearby UIDIGI site and find 
that some of the relevant commands in your list are not valid, at least 
with UIDIGI 1.9 Beta 3, which is the lastest release.

UIDigicall is too long, the maximum that will be accepted is UIDIGI, the 
minimum UID
UIDIGICallSubstitution is in error, the maximum that will be accepted is 
UIDCSB, the mimimum UIDC
UIFloodCall is too long, the maximum that will be accepted is UIFLOOD, 
the mimimum is UIF
UIFLOODOptions is in error, the maximum that will be accepted is 
UIFLDFL, the mimimum is UIFLD
UITRraceCall is too long, the maximum that will be accepted is UITRACE, 
the minimum is UIT
UITRACEOptions is in error, the maximum that will be accepted is UITRFL, 
the minimum is UITRF

There are lots of other errors, so I am thinking that perhaps you were 
not trying to give the actual commands to be used, but rather more 
descriptive ones?

In any case the list should probably be reworked to correspond to 
exactly what a sysop can type in a remote session, or what the UIDIGI 
compiler will accept.

I am curious if you have actually confirmed by experiment that the 
suggested parms (UID, UIDC, UIF, UIFLD, UIT and UITRF) set as you 
suggest actually have the desired 'new paradigm' effect?
