Please re-read my previous post where I explained how your mangling of the q construct breaks the algorithm and therefore APRS-IS.  Bottom line: the q construct is NOT "only a label".  It is an integral part of the q algorithm implemented years ago to reduce and/or eliminate most of the looping that occurs on APRS-IS.  It accomplishes this and should never be thought of as "only a label".

Bob, your reply was nonsensical.  It totally ignored everything I stated in my post and it simply restated your lack of understanding of what an IGate is and how it fits in the APRS network.
