Hi,

I found and fixed the bug into APRS-Emergency.

Now the program work fine with TNC connected directly to
UI-View and with TNC managed by AGW-PE

I apologize for this problem.

You will find the new version as an upgrade to this link:

www.trilogysystem.it/HamRadioe/software.asp (a new english
version of my site)

I have done tests with my THD-7 (Ver.2) and the program
responded with the TNC is managed by UI-View
be with the TNC managed by AGW-PE.
Let me know if everything works fine
