[OZAPRS] UIDIGI 1.9 problem?

[Dom Dahl]

Hi Liz

Just looking at all the other stations that VK2RGF-1 have heard this month
on aprs.fi and the all have the path WIDE 1-1, WIDE2-1 or (2-2). Maybe the
digi sysop has changed the digi to a WIDE1 digi and therefore your packets
are ignored. Also that would explain also why its not repeating packets
from other digis.

Cheers
