It's interesting to see that whilst away from the shack this evening the program correctly identified G3KEV (501.9 at 19:35) and also G0MRF (503.0 at 19:37). The callsign picking routine must have been designed for the HF bands, where the protocol is very mature, so got a bit confused with the protocol used on 500kHz and eventually decided that David callsign was IO91TK!=20 It seems to need a reasonable S/N, but could be quite useful if one is not able to personally monitor the band all of the time. Have others tried it? 73 John, G3WKL
