/*
* First pass: Look at packets being digipeated to same channel.
*
* We want these to get out quickly.
* We want these to get out quickly, bypassing the usual random wait time.
*
* Some may disagree but I followed what WB4APR had to say about it.
*
* http://www.aprs.org/balloons.html
*
* APRS NETWORK FRATRICIDE: Generally, all APRS digipeaters are supposed to transmit
* immediately and all at the same time. They should NOT wait long enough for each
* one to QRM the channel with the same copy of each packet. NO, APRS digipeaters
* are all supposed to STEP ON EACH OTHER with every packet. This makes sure that
* everyone in range of a digi will hear one and only one copy of each packet.
* and that the packet will digipeat OUTWARD and not backward. The goal is that a
* digipeated packet is cleared out of the local area in ONE packet time and not
* N packet times for every N digipeaters that heard the packet. This means no
* PERSIST times, no DWAIT times and no UIDWAIT times. Notice, this is contrary
* to other packet systems that might want to guarantee delivery (but at the
* expense of throughput). APRS wants to clear the channel quickly to maximize throughput.
*
* http://www.aprs.org/kpc3/kpc3+WIDEn.txt
*
* THIRD: Eliminate the settings that are detrimental to the network.
*
* * UIDWAIT should be OFF. (the default). With it on, your digi is not doing the
* fundamental APRS fratricide that is the primary mechanism for minimizing channel
* loading. All digis that hear the same packet are supposed to DIGI it at the SAME
* time so that all those copies only take up one additional time slot. (but outward
* located digs will hear it without collision (and continue outward propagation)
