<div>You are correct Cap, at this point, when at home I am closer to KI4ELU than to W4IAX, BUT on the trip to work, I pass within a couple of miles of W4IAX. Heck, even at home there is less than a mile difference between the two digi stations - and W4IAX has a LOT higher antenna.

<div>Also, on the WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 setting - as I mentioned before, that is what I started with, but had a VERY hard time getting digi'd to an Igate so changed to the WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 setting and it seems to be working somewhat better. Most of the time I am making it to an Igate in 2 hops, but if you check the trace, there are a few times when there are 3 hops involved. In the last couple of days it has even made it in one hop a good portion of the time, with 2 hops other times.

<div>Cap, I'm not sure what you mean by *K9FV-1 is apparently using KI4ELU-7,WIDE2-2* - do you mean I've got KI4ELU-7 set into my radio to be the first digi? I assure you that is NOT the case - KI4ELU-7 just happens to pick me up first most of the time. Last week I was digi'd thru a couple of stations in MS - and the Igate was in New Orleans and once in Jackson, MS.

<div>Thanks for all the info and comments - I'm learning as I go.</div>
