SETTING AS A DIGIPEATER
This transceiver with a built-in TNC may also be used as
a digipeater. As described in “PACKET PATH AND
DIGIPEATER” {page 9}, a volunteer who installs a
digipeater is supposed to program it either as a RELAY
or WIDE depending on various conditions.
Note: This transceiver is capable of setting up to 4 path segments
(aliases); each path segment must have less than 10 characters.
However, it is common to program either “RELAY” or “WIDE” as
mentioned above.
