[FLWSS] N3FJP VHF Software Temp Fix

[Joe Ruggieri]

N3FJP VHF Software Temp FixWill and all others using the hand input entry form for Cabrillo file.

David, NN1N has repaired the robot and it now works correctly.

When using the hand entry form no NOT put a g or G after the band, use 1.2, 2.3 ,,10,24 etc.
Be sure to use /r after the rover call.
My data went the first time after his repair.

He will try to fix this entry form to except g or G at a later date.

  FYI, for those using N3FJP's software, see email below... 
  Our wonderful ARRL at work..Don't tell anyone anything. And these folks write logging software for a living! 

  Hi Walter, 
  Thanks for your e-mail. It looks like the VHF rules were tweaked, and we didn't know about it. Please write your Cabrillo File. Carefully, open the file in Windows NotePad and change the entries to read 1.2G. This should fix the problem and allow the submission. We will fix this problem before the next VHF contest.

    Hi,
    FYI, since the ARRL decided to change the cabrillo format to include a "G"
    for GHz on all bands above 1.2GHz the contest robot is rejecting those
    QSO's.
    Instead of 1.2, 2.3 they want to see 1.2G, 2.3G, etc..
    Do you plans to update the VHF package soon?

    I'll bet you are getting a flood of emails on this.

    Thanks,
    Walter K4HV
