Bob is basically correct. If you use w,w,w,then w2-2 that should get
you to the KD4BBM-6 digi (at 1600' in Homestead, FL ) which is setup in
the new style, then KO4E will Igate you<br>

I think it has a WIDE,WIDE,WIDE,WIDE system because the TNC's at
remote WX stations are acting as the digis, and to upgrade to
New-N would require new hardware. If they simply made the old
TNC's WIDE1-1 only, then they would me minimally New-N
compatible, but only for 1 hop.
Travelers, then, only going one hop will not meet a lot of new
folks.
Their primary mission is to get the WX data to the Hurricane
Center in Miami, so there has not been a lot of incentive to
upgrade. But for disaster response, I would think that
upgrading to the higher network efficiency of the New-N system
could be justified for incoming first responders with APRS....
Fortunately, running W,W,W,W on a linear string of digis in such
a sparse area does not have the disadvantages of dupe
multiplication that it has in 2dimensional systems elsewhere.
SO maybe try W,W,W once you get south of Miami. I hope the rest
of Miami northward is New-N, so that a W,W,W mobile doesn't
trash up the Miami area too...
Kibitzing out-of-area and could be sticking foot in mouth..
