Tue Oct 30 21:24:31 EST 2007

Another Update to the program, copy of an E-mail received from Giuseppe
IW2JZQ....

John vk3hjq

__________________________________________________________
On site to link
http://www.trilogysystem.it/HamRadio/software.asp, you will
find the new version.
This version decoding compressed beacon and standard beacon.

Regarding the beacon sent by the objects I still working
there.

>From 01/11/2007 to 05/11/2007 I will be on holiday ,
therefore I will not respond.

Please try the new version and let me know if everything is
ok

Many thanks
