Hi all,

If the BBSs are sending locators, you can still get a BBS symbol if you
make yourself a BBS BMP, and put multiple copies of it in the
UI-VIEW\SYMBOLS directory, each named according to the name of a BBS
that you hear transmitting a locator. E.g. GB7AAA.BMP, GB7BBB.BMP, etc.
That's what I'd been doing already! Thought it might have been nice to
have it done automaticaly though.
If you follow the instructions in my previous message, it will become
automatic for BBSs sending long/lat and a symbol character of 'B'. When
it comes to a locator beacon, there's nothing in it that identifies the
station type.
However, I expect I could change the symbol if the sending callsign was
GB7???. I don't think that would cause a problem.
