Although WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 is a 3 hop path, it will
not be trapped beacuse the traps for 3-3 will not
see it.

But all the gray area in between will not like all your
QRM in most places.  And the only place that even
traps 2-2 to one hop is the LA basin.  Yes, others trap
3-3 to 1 hop, but your mobile 1-1,2-2 is going to
get through.  THat is why it is NOT recommended in
California.
