Very good point, both of you!

Where my house was located, I needed the RELAY to get out to the
digi's, and couldn't use a specific callsign because I had 2 or 3
RELAY digi's around and none of them could hear me very well.  I
guess I got used to the RELAY for both my house and mobile stations.

I'll change the default in Xastir to "WIDE", or perhaps
"WIDE,WIDE2-2"?
