[aprssig] APRS Symbol Question

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

Jeff,

It appears that aprs.fi is having parser issues.  I pulled your raw 
packet and ran it through my parser which was adopted from the Tracker2 
Open Source code and it arrived at the mobile satellite station /( that 
you were after.  I can't explain why aprs.fi believes it to be the 
alternate table.

PS.  Of course, it may be my parser and findu.com that are broken and 
aprs.fi is correct!  One never knows.
