[OZAPRS] Receive only iGates

[Bradley Clayton]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply. That's a good consideration. What is the common
practice for bi-directional i-gates? It would be great to enable
Internet -> RF traffic too, so that message replies are serviced properly but this is
where I'd want to make sure I didn't propagate any loops through other
digipeaters or i-gates..

I guess I'm looking for the accepted practice within reasonable
experimentation when it comes to i-gates and fill-in digipeaters?

Thanks!
