Amen, 2.2 allows no flexibility in digipeater fields (Limits to
1 or 2?), which would completely fail with APRS. After the
first hop, an APRS packet typically can look like this:
WB4APR>APRS,WIDE1-1,WIDE1*,WIDE2-1
Which would violate the 2.2 spec and die...
On the next hop, it would use up 4 digi fields.
WB4APR>APRS,WIDE1-1,WIDE1*,DIGI2,WIDE2*
And surely fail. Since the 2.2 writers are "opposed" to
digipeating (which of course is the foundataion of APRS)...
