Correct - the reason for the WIDE2-1 in the path is not for HF use, but in
the cases where the HF Gateway is just that - HF to VHF (not to Internet).
The path to be used on the VHF portion of the hop is defined by the HF
mobile station.... The HF Gateway responds to the GATE part, and sends
the posit out to VHF using the WIDE2-1 portion - and hopefully an IGate
hears this :-)

Hi Gordon,
I have to update the documentation.
The part should be set to APRS via GATE,WIDE2-1
Ray, the main Net Gateway will need to send out beacons at a similar
rate to VK4MY-4 on 30mtrs. It would also be a help to station if the
Gateway had the ECHO path active for operators to tune in their stations.
Cheers
Richard
