[OZAPRS] UIDIGI 1.9 problem?

A little correction... but detail matters.

Ok, in all of that, I think you are saying it:
1. will not repeat WIDE2-m where m>0 and
2. doesn't seem to repeat other stuff as often as it should.

Issue 1 is easy to clear away, are there any instances of
',VK2RGF-1*,WIDE2*' in your log file. If they exist at all, there there
is evidence that it will repeat those cases if they are decoded.

Issue 2 could be a whole lot of problems that are degrading receive
performance. If it does repeat certain cases sometimes but not as often
as it should, I would look to the linear side of the system rather than
digital.

It is my first suspicion that issue 2 is the real issue, and that radio
performance has fallen off (defective antenna system, radio etc).

It looks to me like this might be a remote digi. I assume that its
working configuration is in EEPROM. Can you remotely access it and check
the key routing parameters, perhaps restart it.
