[Linrad] Re: Non-callsign showing up in Bandmap window

[Joe Taylor <Princeton.EDU; joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ned and all,

Yes, you will find some quaint peculiarities in the way MAP65 operates. 
  The particular one that you mention -- the Band Map being not very 
fussy about what it considers a "callsign" -- is one that I have not 
considered annoying enough to devote the time necessary to correct.

An item now appears in the Band Map because it was the second "word" in 
a decoded text message.  No testing is done to see if it bears any 
resemblance to a callsign.

Despite what I've said, I appreciate the report and suggestion.  Please 
keep the copmments coming!  In due course, I'll devote the time to do a 
lot of this sort of program polishing.  Recently, however, I've given 
higher priority to several other tasks: for example, writing a wholly 
new EME chapter for the 2010 ARRL Handbook and creating the "-IQ" 
version of MAP65.  A Manual for MAP65 needs to be written, also.
