The final word...  Bryan, Doug and I now all agree on how Local Monitor
works.
As you see from previous appends, Bryan did not agree at first, but we
figured out the confusion, which was based on Bryan's setup being more like
a HUB, and not a simple radio attached node.  Bottom line we all agree this
is how Monitor and Local Monitor works:

Monitor means monitor, I.E. you hear someone else they do not hear you. The
difference is that regular Monitor will also send the monitored audio to
anyone connected to you.   So if  B is monitoring A  and B is connected to
C, Then C will hear both A and B But probably unbeknown to C he cannot talk
back to anyone on A. I have often heard this tried and people think
something is wrong!

Now if you use Local Monitor and B is monitoring A and also connected to C
then C will hear B but C or anyone else connected to B will not hear A.

Sometimes confusing. But the Local Monitor would allow a node to monitor
many others without their audio going to any transceive nodes that node was
also connected to.  In that case however you probably would not really know
where the audio was coming from unless you had supermon up or setup
distinctive courtesy tones.

thanks Bryan and Doug for many go-rounds.  regards, tom ab7ic
