Your compromise is less broken than dropping all packets without a consumed hop, but I'm still not sold on the value. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm asking why, when the boat is incidentally right next to a 145.825MHz I-gate, we don't get to see its packets unless there happens to be a satellite overhead. If the answer is just because traffic on the OSCAR subband has to always have a satellite involved, then I'm just amazed we've come up with another rule like the 300 baud limit on HF that limits the flexibility of our license and I'll drop the issue.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">--<br>Kenneth Finnegan, W6KWF<br><a href="http://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/" target="_blank">http://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/</a></div></div>
