[aprssig] UIDIGI Setup

[Ed L Locklear]

Bruce,

I used N8DEU's suggested settings
"http://www.qsl.net/n8deu/uidigi_eprom_settings.htm" for the exception
using "NONE" and left Beacon2Path & Beacon3Path blank.  However, I do
believe your right about not leaving them blank, I will go back and
reprogram to use "LOCAL" in "Beacon2Path & Beacon3Path".  I did use
"NONE" in one of the first ROM's but, didn't like the way it appeared
on the screen terminal output of UI-View32.  So I had changed it to a
blank (duh).

Thanks,

Ed, KF4CHG
