The Tracker2 does sort of the opposite.  If you set the NICE parameter 
to a non-zero number, when it hears itself digipeated it'll skip that 
many subsequent beacons.  Works well for keeping your rate down in the 
city or places with good wide coverage, while still putting out enough 
packets in areas of poor coverage.

It's also very simple to implement and didn't add more than a few bytes 
of code.
