Supernode: Radio setting
May the radio of a supernode function as a 'LAN Hotspot'?

The documentation mentions that the radio should not be enabled as a 'MESH radio'.
Reference:
https://docs.arednmesh.org/en/latest/arednHow-toGuides/supernodes.html#s...
"3. Ensure that the Mesh radio is off"
and
"Things to Avoid
Here are several things NOT to do when configuring your Supernode.
    Your Supernode must not use any cross-links (xlinks) to other nodes.
    Your Supernode must not have tunnel links to any non-Supernode devices.
    Your Supernode must not have its Mesh radio interface enabled."

Supernodes do one thing only
The sole purpose of a Supernode is to do one thing and one thing only.  It functions as a dedicated, purpose-built device on the Worldwide AREDN network, serving to isolate local nodes from Supernode traffic while giving local nodes a gateway to the worldwide network.  That is all a Supernode should do.  Its radios should be disabled, freeing all of its resources to focus on its purpose as a member of the Supernode network.

Hi, Steve:
Thanks.

I was having difficulty linking with a new Supernode in the adjacent county.
As it turned out...it was a 'PICNIC' error.
