David,
I've reviewed the user guide regarding digipeating. I see where my digipeater may not repeat packets as a stronger digipeater may win out. However, I have my HT set at low power and when it beacons the beacon is not being shown in the Direwolf monitor screen. I changed the digipeater settings in Direwolf as you suggested. I've also started Direwolf with debugging. I looked through the documentation and the Github site for a buide on how to decpher the debugging code. Here is a screen dump of my Digipeater from moments ago:
