[aprssig] TNCX setups? (proportaional pathing?)

[Robert Bruninga]

Ok,
Here is best I can come up with the limitation of only 4 beacons
in the TNC-X and the limitation of OFFSET to only a count of
255.  Here goes:

2 F D F 1 F D F _ F D F 2 F D F 1 F D F _ F D F 2 F D F

Where D is a DIRECT beacon for the digi
Where 1 is a WIDE1-1 beacon of the digi
Where 2 is a WIDE2-2 beacon of the digi
Where F is a DIRECT beacon for the local Voice Freq Obj

To make this interleave then for the TNCX would need (I think?)

Beacon 1 inteval (x5s) :00756 Offset :0   DIGI every 63m at 0) 
Beacon 2 inteval (x5s) :00252 Offset :126 DIGI every 21m at
10.5m
Beacon 3 inteval (x5s) :00756 Offset :252 DIGI every 63m at 21m
Beacon 4 inteval (x5s) :00126 Offset :63  FREQ every 10.5 at
5.2m

The result is a local direct Freq object every 10.5 minutes
A local digi packet every 10.5 minutes (5 out of 6 times)
A 1 hop digi packet every 31.5 minutes
A 2 hop digi packet every 63   minutes

Did I do this right?  Give the count interval is every 5
seconds.
