You're right, it should be VK2RBX-1,WIDE2-1. I was in a bit of a hurry and
made a typo. Thanks.

We will need 3 hops in that area of VK3 when the VK3RVL-1 digi comes
online.
The path between 3RON-1 & 2RBX-1 is marginal during the day, 3RVL-1 should
fix this.

There still under development.

We will not be using a fixed flood path zone in VK3.
