This is brilliant!
1) It completely squleches out of area WIDEn-N QRM
2) Yet it allows passing through mobiles that are set to
    respectible W2-2 or W3-3 to still get out their first hop!
3) and as long as "this" digi with this setting can hit
   at least ONE WIDEn-N digi somewhere, then their
   packet will continue onward
4) It discourages anything over W3-3, by simply ignoring them!

I love it.  SImple, and it works. and can be implemented
NOW by any remote-sysop where it is needed.
This set up is ideal for a digi that is one hop beyond the
fringe of a major metro area.  Droping the WIDEn-N
entirely acts as a firewall against the propogation of
long distance and unwanted WIDEn-N QRM while still
passing "decent" mobiles passing through.
