I mentioned I put up a WIDE1-1 digi using UIDIGI to help get us out of the
voerage hole. It was repeating my packets that I sent just fine. I am
wondering if there isn't something I missed so that it would repeat the packets
destined FOR me. I THINK the IGate was N6ZW-3. At any rate, I did NOT see my
return packets even in monitor mode, from any digi, though I saw the ones I
sent bouncing around.
I welcome any comment on UIDIGI config that may be impacting this. I sure want
this to work.

Were you able to hear any digis other than your own, down in your
hole? <br>
<br>
Unless the returning station could hit YOUR digi directly (i.e. not
through another WIDE2-n first), a WIDE1-1 will never work on the
reverse path if there is more than one digi hop. WIDE1-1 only
works for the first hop of a packet path. <br>
<br>
If another station was far enough away that he heard your transmission
via a second digi hop (i.e. after being repeated first by your digi,
and then by a WIDE2-n permanent wide-coverage digi), then his reply
would go through the WIDE2-n first, using up the first hop. Since your
digi won't respond to anything BUT WIDE1-1, it would then ignore the
WIDE2-n second hop in the path, and you wouldn't hear anything. <br>
