[aprssig] Need Path Mentoring

[Steve Noskowicz]

  Man!  Every time I think I “get” paths and try
looking, I realize I have far exceeded the half-life
of the knowledge.  I also understand that the new
paradigm and reality aren’t necessarily equal which
can cause confusion as well.

  Looking in the menu, I verify that my D700 is set
for WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,   which I believe is supported
by:

    
K9DCI-9>TRRW0S,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,qAR,N9OIG:'t(Fl!h>/]"6]}

Meaning that:  IGate N9IOG heard me directly and shot
me into the APRS-IS, right?  _____


  Yet, the other day, I was watching the Packet
Monitor and I saw  “WIDE3
” associated with some of my
packets.  And, lo-and-behold, there’re popping out on
the net as well (shown below – they seem to ‘prefer’
appearing in pairs).  
  I can’t get this to fit what I thought the paradigm
is.  
   So, what are possible interpretations?

1- My D700 needs its sinuses cleared?

2- Seeing WIDE3-3 in the first slot suggests a Digi is
substituting “WIDE3-3” for my “WIDE1-1” since there
are digi calls after it?  Eh?

Excerpts from Raw data:
K9DCI-9>TRRW0P,WIDE3-3,K9ESV-3,WIDE2*,qAR,N9OIG:'t(Zn4d>/]"6[}
K9DCI-9>TRRW0S,WIDE3-3,K9ABC-10*,WIDE2,qAo,N9QBW:'t(Fl!h>/]"6_}

K9DCI-9>TRRW0S,WIDE3-3*,K8BRC*,WIDE2*,qAo,N8FQ:'t(El-Q>/]
K9DCI-9>TRRW0T,WIDE3-3*,K8BRC*,WIDE2*,qAo,N8FQ:'t(EliW>/]"6[}

K9DCI-9>TRRW0S,WIDE3-3,K9ESV-3,WIDE2*,qAo,W9TMW:'t(El-Q>/]
K9DCI-9>TRRW0T,WIDE3-3,K9ESV-3,WIDE2*,qAo,W9TMW:'t(EliW>/]"6[}

Note that in these examples, there are actual call
signs with the “*” appended.  Is that part of “The
New”??  or a mix of new and old.   I thought the “old”
was to accept it and append the “*”,   but new is only
to substitute – but remember that half-life effect.
(:-).

  Then come the other path questions.

Seeing this:
 K9DCI-9>TRRV2Q,K9ESV-3,WIDE1*,WIDE2-1,qAR,N9OIG:'t+O
Hu>/]"6X}
Does this say that K9ESV-3 is accepting the WIDE1-1?  
Also, rather than substituting, is it *inserting* its
call and putting the “*” after the “WIDE1” part of the
“WIDE1-1”  ???

I guess I’ll stop here.  This appears to be a mixing
of call sign substitution and the old paradigm –
something that is not entirely out of the question. 
The fella doing K9ESV, while a nice guy trying to do
it correctly, has expressed doubt and asked me (yea,
right) to look at his parameters.
