All of them. After all they are out of range of each other so
they're not going to interfere with each other.<br><br>
Now if they were in range of each other then I'd choose the one closest
to the repeater and set it for a WIDE2-1. Although Bob and I
disagree on that. <br><br>
In the event that the digi's can't all see the originating digi I might
set a chain of digi's in the path so the packet "bounces" from
one to the next in the ring. Again Bob and I disagree on
that.<br><br>
