[OZAPRS] UIDIGI 1.9 problem?

I did forget about the voice interference..

Do you know if the digi was rebooted, or just the radio?  If the Digi 
has been rebooted, then it is a possibility that there have been changes 
previously made OTA which have now been lost.
UIDIGI is great in that you can modify the config OTA, but it is not 
written into the EEPROM, which results in all changes being lost upon 
reboot.

Just out of sheer curiosity on my behalf, can you modify your path in 
your 710 to WIDE 1-1, WIDE 2-1 (or WIDE 2-2, either should work, but 2-1 
would be preferable to prevent excessive packets) and see what happens.  
It may work, or it may not, I am just curious as to what , if anything 
the Digi will do with such packets.

I certainly do not think it would be possible for call signs to be in 
the bud list without some sort of external input.  So I do not think 
that is the issue in this case.
