VarAC 2M: selective crashing on broadcast using digipeaters

Tested sending broadcast ALL messages using digi peat with VarAC (7.0.8) with Vara FM (4.2.8). Sending broadcast via digitpeaters using route VIA N3XL-10 and WM3M-10. Sending broadcast via W3AAC-11 (one hop) or W3AAC-11 W3AAC-10 (two hop) results in crashing Vara 2M modem. VarAC client shows binary characters in broadcast message and throws error message (see attached text files).

Broadcasts does not support (yet) digipeaters with SSIDs.

Broadcast works fine digipeating VIA N3XL-10 or VIA N3XL-10 WM3M-10,

but not VIA W3AAC-11. Not ready for prime time, understood.

the KISS protocol has a "special" segment where SSIDS are embedded. I have not implemented this yet. it might work with short callsigns though as your experience shows. do not count on this :)
