Hi Eric,

Just to make sure, you have 24 lines of frequencies (one or each hour in
the day) followed by one line of mode, USB then Call?

I don't think is makes a difference but in my file I have a comma after the
last element on each line.

Other elements I would check:

1. The file is in the .pskmail/qrg directory in the home folder of the
username used to launch the server.

2. It is readable, or better, owned by that same user.

Hope this helps,

73, John
