Well I don't think I can enter a space using touchtone so it must need to be fixed in the app_rpt software.<div>I am running the latest software as of May 9 2012. I'm not sure where in the C code to fix this but I think maybe it would be in gps.c</div>
<div><div> sprintf(buf,"%s>APSTAR:;%s-12*%02d%02d%02dz%s%c%sA%s\n",</div><div> call,theircall,tm->tm_hour,tm->tm_min,tm->tm_sec,lat,overlay,lon,comment);</div></div><div>
<br></div><div>if theircall is less than 6 char then theircall-12 needs to be padded on the right with spaces to make it a total of 9 char in length. </div><div>I think that it will be easy for Jim to fix, he might even have it fixed faster than I can type this email.</div>
