Ulrich,

Thanks again for an excellent tool that just keeps on getting better.
You have pre-empted my thoughts on adding a timeout to the manual
entry mode, I got caught out by that just yesterday. I also like the
new data file system.

One thing with the manual entry commands, unfortunately these seem to
be for the Motorola receiver as fitted to the Z3801A (& Z3816A?), I
believe, and a number of them do not work for the FURUNO GT-8031B as
fitted in the Z3805A that Bob (fluke.l) was selling. I have had no
luck finding the command set on the Net and so have contacted Furuno
to see if they will provide me with this info. So far they are asking
questions about what business I am in and what I propose for future
sales. If I get the command list from them I will let you have it.

Thanks,
Steve
