If so I will feel confident to revise this old document:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="yui_3_16_0_9_1403708928864_23" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family:

The update increases the length of the object by 11 bytes. Hopefully this will not significantly increase the packet error
rate. I do wish that the Yaesu radios did follow the spec for frequency objects, but they don't, requiring the frequency information to be duplicated in the tail section of the object.<br></div><div class="yui_3_16_0_9_1403708928864_23" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="yui_3_16_0_9_1403708928864_23" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Not that I expect too many to see this and correctly program their digi's! If you surf around on aprs.fi you will see there is a scarcity such objects. There are metropolitan areas without a single frequency object, or at least one in correct format. Perhaps Bob's document <a
href="http://www.aprs.org/localinfo.html">APRS Local Info Initiative</a> could be updated to make it a bit easier to understand. That was what I was trying to do with my puny document effort, which I realize few will ever see!</div><div class="yui_3_16_0_9_1403708928864_23" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="yui_3_16_0_9_1403708928864_26" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Ron, AE5E</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div
