Ah, that's why its called a "Super" site. But seriously, it is the
KISS way to go.
1) Becuse it only adds one TNC/RADIO per "node"
2) It only adds this hardware at the one site.
The alternative is a separate freq and a separate
channel and a pair of radios and TNC's for each end
of each link to each node.
As we learned back in the 80's/90's, you have to
network things on separate channels or you gain nothing...
