Hi David.
Thanks for your answer, very detailed by the way.
What I tried to do was create two .ini files, one for each QTH, and load
the corresponding file for each QTH, and with the corresponding Grid and
DME data, but it didn't work as I expected.
I'll try to do what you say about groups, although I thought there would be
an easier way to do it.
David, all the best.
