Hi Fred, I am in a cabin in Vasa, Finland, and I only have a copy of subversion with me (no internet) and rownumbers are slightly changed there. But, it looks like a debug check with an uninitialized debug variable, its a trivial problem in perl (fatal in all other languages). Regarding aprs the client has to connect or link to the server first but I guess you know that. Rein will have to answer better but I had a QSO with him two days ago and he was in the boat. 73 de Per, sm0rwo
