[Dxbase] Frequency

[Jack]

Gary,

You might try adjusting the pacing and EOC values in radios.ini for the 
selection you are using.  Maybe make them just a tad larger.  Sounds like 
your radio is responding slowly and perhaps the data is getting truncated or 
otherwise garbled somehow.  Increasing these may help.
