There are 3 finer points to the New n-N paradigm that should not be overlooked. These are in addition to the actual TNC settings and should not be overlooked. These 3 times communicate to the end user what he needs to know and are very important. 1) Be sure to put in the digi's PHG string as the first part of the position text so that others can see the effective range. 2) Make the next few characters be the standard abbreviations for the capabilities of this digi. For Iowa it might be "R,IAn,W4" .... which would inform everyone that this digi supports RELAY, IAn-N and WIDE4-4 and below. (meaning it traps WIDE5-5 and above)... 3) Make sure the DIGI icon now uses the "L" overlay showing that it is a new "Limiting" digi under the New n-N Paradigm. This delivery to the end user of the capabilities and limitations of every digi is a very important part of APRS. Thanks, Bob
