digipath: WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 issue

[hwsu315]

Dear OM,

I found when using direwolf as the wide range digipeater which only repeat WIDE2 packets, the direwolf doesn't repeat WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 packets.

In other words, for trackers with WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 beacons and there are no fill-in digis surrounding by, the wide range direwolf digi hears it directly but does not repeat.

direwolf digipeater settings:
DIGIPEAT 0 0 ^WIDE[3-7]-[1-7]$ ^WIDE2-[12]$ TRACE

As far as I understand, wide range digipeaters should repeat WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 ; WIDE2-N ; but not WIDE1-1.

Thanks for investigating the issue.

Any updates about this issue?

Can you tell us about your setup? What version of Direwolf are you running? Can you show us some examples say give us a URL from aprs.fi RAW view so we can see some of the packets?

It is working properly.
A digipeater only examines the first unused digipeater address in the via path.
In this case, the digipeater only looks at WIDE1-1 and the configuration does not include anything to process WIDE1-n.
You might find this useful: https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf-doc/blob/main/APRS-Digipeaters.pdf
There is an obscure digipeater option called preemptive digipeating which would probably help in this situation. I will make an example and share with you.

Thanks a lot for the info, I just start to study the "preemptive digipeating" function. I will go to read user-guide and try it. Regards, Huawei.

You have a typo in your settings.
Fix it with this at the tail end where you are missing the 1

^WIDE[12]-[12]
