>From the old xastir documents:

Enter in up to three UNPROTO paths. Xastir will assume the XX VIA part
of the UNPROTO path. There are three paths allowed so that your signal
will be heard if conditions are bad. If any of these are filled in
XASTIR will cycle through one of them at each transmission time. If you
are local, just a WIDE may be a good choice. If you are using low power
and/or are distant from a digi then RELAY, WIDE may work better. Or if
you know the call of your closest digi you may use XXXCALL, WIDE. Most
of you will only need one path. If you are in a remote area and your
signal is difficult to get out you may need more. Check with a local
group and ask what path may be best for your area. Some areas use the
more efficient flooding protocols, in which case you might use WIDE3-3
or RELAY,WIDE3-3.

What is meant by "XASTIR will cycle through one of them at each
transmission time."

If three paths are entered, does it randomly chose one of the three?
