[OZAPRS] KPC3 dupe question

That is why for the Version 8.2, we put WIDE1-1 in the UIDIGI
alias list.  Then the WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 packet is digipeated with
callsign substitution as MYDIGI*,WIDE2-1 and so the packet
continues properly.

Yes, UITRACE is not useable.  So in the 8.2 ROMS, we cannot
support both WIDEn-N and SSn-N.
Or rather, SSn-N will have some dupes when packets go through an
8.2 digipeater.  If there is only on 8.2 every now and then,
this might be OK.  But if all the digis in an area are 8.2, then
SSn-N should not be used.  And since UITRACE is broken, then
WIDEn-N remains in the UIFLOOD parameter and is not fully
traceable.  So here are the settings for an 8.2 ROM
Digi:

UIDIGI WIDE1-1,SS1-1,WIDE4-4,WIDE5-5
UIFLOOD WIDE,28,ID
UITRACE SS

With those settings then:
WIDEN-N will work
WIDE1-1,WIDEn-N will work
SS1-1,SSn-N will work
And WIDE4-4 and 5-5 will be trapped.

Hope that helps.
The version 8.3 ROMS do not have this problem.  In an 8.3 ROM
the settings are:

UIDIGI WIDE4-4, WIDE5-5, WIDE6-6, WIDE7-7
UIFLOOD SS,28,ID
UITRACE WIDE,28
