[OZAPRS] European v USnewparadigmand pathlimiting +confusion....

[Richard Hoskin]

Hi Chris,

I agree, we need to keep it simple for the users.
So all you would need to implement in VK6 would be something like 
Mobile use WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 and home station use 'Closed Digi',WIDE1-1 or
they could use ZONE2-2 etc. This would follow the basic National Standard
we
are discussing.

I don't think you will have a problem with the low user base over there
and
you probably don't need a zone system at this stage.

Cheers
Richard
