[OZAPRS] UIDIGI 1.9 problem?

[Peter VK2MPJ]

Its not suspicious at all.  If the original programming of the Digi was 
as a fill in Digi as I suspect, then at some point someone made some OTA 
(Over the Air) changes, then these changes would have been lost when 
rebooted.  This would result in the digi reverting to what ever the 
profile programmed into the EEPROM is.  This is normal operation, and 
one of the limitations to using OTA programming for config changes.

It is worth noting that the recommended config for all mobile station is 
WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1.  This was done to support the change in Paradigm some 
years ago to minimise the network congestion with excessive packets.  
This is documented on the aprs.net.au site, and has been for some time 
see at the bottom of this page
http://aprs.net.au/vhf/national-2m-aprs-network

NOTE:  The above info regarding the Digi is speculation at this point.  
If I am granted access to review the configs, then and only then will I 
be able to ascertain what the issue is.  At this point in time, it is 
the most logical answer given the current behaviour of the digi.
