Ron. The useage of the NODE symbol is interesting. I am pretty sure it
came
from the original thought of trying to express a NET/ROM type node like
BPQ
or X1J or DigiFlex etc. A packet switch which may or may not be a Digi for
APRS as well.

Ive seen operators that have IRLP running using this symbol as an object
with a description of their IRLP node info etc. The IRLP boxes are called
Nodes as well.. Its been misused of recent times for sure. The symbol for
Nodes was thought of well before IRLP was. Some operators today have
little
idea what the difference is between a network switch/node is and a APRS
digi
it seems as well..
