[drats_users] gps ???

[Francis Miele]

Mike,

I am running on a WIN7 machine.  My GPS is reporting good information and I
do show up on DPRS. I notices something in the CHAT log last night. When a
station transmits its position is appears as a CQCQCQ instead of the call
sign. I don't see the call sign anywhere in the chat window.

I found an old version from 2009 that I may fall back to and see if that
works.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Fran, W1FJM
