[OZAPRS] RGI digi too big a coverage ?

[vk2tv]

Glen

I wasn't thinking of the digi only responding to its real callsign, it 
will do that in any case AFAIK. I was thinking of the case where (local) 
users specify the digis real callsign in their path to keep their 
traffic "local".

There's a lot of discussion about rgi and possible effects of outbound 
traffic from it but we also need to consider the benefits of having a 
well-sited W2-1 (say) Igate to respond to inbound traffic that might 
have been stomped on at another system(s).
