It's an optional field, but I am<br>not sure how well all the different applications handle it. The<br>extra digit goes where the delimiter used to go. SO the<br>question is whether all the applications then know where to find<br>the beginning of the TEXT that follows.<br><br>Might be worth testing on all the different applications.<br>Especially all the hard coded radios, D7, D700, D710, VX8R,<br>VX8DR, VX8G, and FTM350. After they decode the PHG data, do<br>they begin the display of text with the extra digit, or after<br>the next delimiter. They are supposed to ignore a beginning<br>space, but I'm not sure if they do that either..<br><br>Bob, WB4APR<br><br></div></div>
