With mesh we need to be good stewards of the network. It is likely in the next 6 months the repeater owners will have to implement region scoping. This will stop all traffic that you guys send that is not earmarked for a specific region.

Consider that the red circle is South Carolina and outside is USA. Green area is Columbia region and red is Florence region. A,Band C repeaters will want to scope "us" "us-sc" and "cae". G H and I will want to scope "us" "us-sc" and "flo". D will only want "us" "us-sc" and E and F will want "us" "us-sc" "cae" and "flo".

Repeaters setup like this will not relay traffic for areas they don't support. So while packets from "flo" may reach the "cae" area, repeaters in the cae area will not relay them.

Packets earmarked for "us" will go everywhere. try not to use this day to day.
