[aprssig] WIDEs

[Eric H. Christensen]

But I've actually seen WIDE2-2 get digipeated five or more times by
three digipeaters in an area.  So, it doesn't appear that the n-N
formulas is preventing dupes...  That has been a Kantronics issues
for years.

Eric,

Your right, you wouldn't expect K4ROK-10 to respond again.  But does 
KB4TOH-10 also see you direct?  If so K4ROK-10 may send the packet 
again as KB4TOH-10, K4ROK-10*, WIDE.   So (assuming only two local 
digis) your packet gets sent 4 times. With WIDEn-N, it only gets sent

twice (once by each digi).  The problem only arises when you have a 
source station that is in view of several digis which also see each 
other.
