If you don't hear the other WIDEn digi's, then what you need is
another WIDEn digi-- not a fill-in.   A fill-in is to help with
outgoing packets for lower powered stations in marginal areas.

For a temporary situation, like filling-in from the network to a cafe
with a Kenwood mobile, it's a simple matter to temporarily add WIDE2-2
and WIDE2-1 to the list of digipeater aliases.  That gives incoming as
well as outgoing packets.
