And what is really important is the "effective" coverage given fill- 
in WIDE1-1 (home) digipeaters, so perhaps rather than plotting the  
coverage of a high level digipeater as it hears mobiles directly...  
it might be more interesting to plot WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 coverage through  
the high level digi.  That exploits the advantage packet has over the  
voice repeaters.
