[OZAPRS] Dupe Problem ??

[Tony Hunt]

Just reading these threads on WIDE1-1 and RELAY one would be led to
beleive
we have a massive problem with Dupes in VK because of the massive
shortcommings of all the digis in the network.. I keep reading this time
and
time again as a argument to getting rid of RELAY..

This was certainly the case in the USA and hence they used WIDE1-1 as a
replacment for RELAY. The Network consisted predominantly of KPC3 TNCs
with
their odd querks that are not really compliant although they do have nice
features..

In Australia this is not the same. Leading us to beleive we have a Dupe
problem here with RELAY is I beleive, false.. The Ui-Digis do not have
this
issue.. Neither does Ui-View or Xastir if used as a Digi and neither does
a
TNC2 clone if its used as a Dumb digi with MYAlias set as RELAY ..

Changing from RELAY to WIDE1-1 will not change any Dupe problem in the
truly
heavy traffic areas to my understanding..

What is really going on in Western Sydney that the Network is Broken ??
When
Ive been to VK2 in certain areas there is an excess amount of Internet
traffic being gated to RF.. This is the real killer of the network if you
are not careful..

Tell us where there are all these fleets of KPC3 digis with all the
traffic
on them ?? And all the fleets of vehicals driving around them using RELAY
for that matter ??

If your car had lots of nice features like a great stereo and mini bar and
was rocket propelled to boot would you just put up with it and say it was
still acceptable if it back fired everytime you put your foot down a bit..
No you would rather drive a Joe average car and forget the rocket rubbish
if
it was guaranteed to come with backfiring features.. I know I would..
