It's actually the RR bit that I said to look at in the draft. I'm not
sure if the RR bit spec talks about setting that bit when a lower case
overlay is used automatically.

The reason for this is to make it easier to handle, as this is a
low-level network function it shouldn't have to parse the APRS packet
information field.

Thanks,

Iain.
