[aprssig] TM-D710 APRS symbol (also posted on the yahooV71/D710group)[SOLVED]

[Robert Bruninga]

So, you are saying that Uiview will not display an overlay "S"
on a DIGI symbol when such symbol is transmitted from a Mic-E
device (TM-D710).  That seems unusual.  I wonder if there are
any other symbol combinations that have a problem in Uiview?

Thanks,
