WIDE1-2 appears to be NON WORKING

[Ricardo Guzman]

"WIDE1-2 appears to be NON WORKING " message on station information appears when WIDE1-2 is being used.

why is that if "Widen-N" can be used with N until 7 (per APRS files?)

WIDEn-N where N is larger than n is a config bug. The 'N' should always be
larger or equal to 'n', and the recipient & network systems should be able
to see the original value of 'N' by looking at 'n'.

WIDE1-1 is the largest value for fill-in digipeater hops.

For larger hop counts you might want to use something like WIDE2-2 or
WIDE3-3, with a WIDE1-1 in front if fill-in digipeaters are required. But
larger hop counts than 3 are, in most areas, detrimental.
