No, my concern is that your beacon was using the proportional pathing of
-- direct -- WIDE1-1, WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 which, if your nearest I-gate still required a digipeat hop, would cause all the -- direct -- (no digpeat aliases) beacon packets to not make it to the I-gate. Similarly, if there are no WIDE1-1 fill-in digis, the packets could have been dropped if the local WIDE2 digis wouldn't also accept WIDE1.

What are the digipeater specifications for your beacon versus your status? If you can't reach an I-gate without being digipeated, then beacon transmissions without sufficient digipeat aliases (such as WIDE2-2) might not ever get digipeated, whereas if your status only uses WIDE2-2, it would be digipeated all the time. What are your beacon and status settings, especially regarding digipeat aliases (possibly using proportional pathing)?

Are my settings correct? The issue seems to be that the status messages get digipeated more than the beacon.because yaac is indeed making the transmissions as far as I can see. Joe VA3JLF |
