I have found that RELAY,WIDE2-2 works well for me on trips from 
Gardnerville to the LA area and out to Sac'to. Some folks suggest simply 
to use WIDE2-2.

There are lots of opinions out there about pathing, most notably about 
whether or not RELAY should be used.

I went with the most often recommended settings, including RELAY. See 
the following:

http://www.vodall.com/pipermail/nwphamnet/2002-October/000019.html

These suggestions seem to be fairly common in areas with any topology to 
speak off. Flatlanders probably have other favorites.

You'll find that the RELAY controversy is at least 2 years old. The fact 
is, the TT3 and other 'dumb trackers' like you and I have are a real 
pain to reconfigure 'on the run'. I'll try WIDE2-2 on my next trip down 
to LA, and WIDE,WIDE on the trip back to see if there is any difference 
in reporting via FINDU's breadcrumbs. The difference between the two is 
that some older digis don't support WIDEn.
