[drats_users] gps ???

[Mike Heitmann]

Hmmm... I'll test mine as well (Linux and Windows) this afternoon/evening and 
let you know what I find. 


It's got me wondering...

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
