Yes and no.  It is not universally recognized on many
applications and gives mixed results, so we prefer to keep PHG
for all digipeaters.  But when we came up with the new FREQ
OBJECTS, we did add a RANGE indicator using the format "Rxxm" or
"Rxxk" for range in Miles or Kilometers.  This, as you say, is
more universally readable on all APRS clients and applications,
HT's and radios.

But all fixed stations (Not objects) should stick with the PHG
format.
