You should be able to put the digi's own callsign in the first field
of your path. I can't guarantee that all digis will digipeat on
their own call, and they may not do duplicate elimination, but I
think most ought to respond.<br>
<br>
Most will also do callsign insertion on a WIDEn-N alias, so you can
see the path your packets took. You can just mouse over your trail
on aprs.fi and it should show the digi you hit.<br>

<div>I know I can't (I think) ping a digi like I can an IP.
What I would like to to is send a beacon through a specific
digi before it gets to an iGate. I would like to test the
coverage of a specific digi for an upcoming bike ride that our
ARES is doing comms for. I could take my 710g or 72a and run
the course while hitting the specific digi (or trying). We
are going to be using some Micro-Trak AIO units along with
other, but if I can verify where the unit will hit this
mountain top digi and where it will not, this will tell me if
we need to do a specific fill in digi. During the ride, it
will beacon as normal. I also want to make sure the digi will
get RF to where our command post will be because we will only
be taking APRS data via RF. No internet support for the
tracking program we are using.</div>
