[OZAPRS] Project Horus Repeater Flight this Sunday

[Robert Thirkettle]

Hi All there is no way you can stop 10 digi's from responding to the same packet if they all hear it direct no path setting gets around that issue.
I would think wide1-1 would give the fewest hops as every digi will send it out only once this assumes that every digi is in range of an IGate if not you need wide1-1,wide2-1 but this is a lot if 10 digi's hear the station direct that's 30  packets at least?

Tony,

Isn't wide1-1 generally frowned upon for high altitude devices because 
of the potentially large number of stations that will respond to it?
