> DIGIPEATER OVERLAY CHARACTERS for the new N-N PARADIGM     12 Dec 2004
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 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,SSn" in BText for one or two states
> 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 "L"
> variety except for the crossing interstate "X" or the dual-state
> "S" digis.  Or just "S" or "K" if they want to still support WIDEn-N,
> 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
