But the message got to you via an SSn-N and your device/software is just
acknowledging the message. So if you're in a border area it's not
going to propagate out of your SS so that's a good thing. Or am I
confused? Which I probably am. <br><br>
That said I can see border digi's responding to both, or more, SSn-Ns as
well as WIDE2-2. We've got one digi set for that
we for experimenting. LLOYD with SK and AB. Trouble is that
the nearest SK digi is not in reliable range of the LLOYD
digi. So I'm hoping to setup an intervening house digi
at a relatives house in a village along the main highway which will work
nicely. <br><br>
