Here's the deal ... When Logger32 positions one of those little squares on a map in the Tracking Window it records everything it knows about the DX Spot so it does not have to recalculate everything next time the DX Spot appears.
So, what information is stored. Right click on any DX Spot marker and you see a popup window like this:
Never mind what it all means but some fields are immediately obvious. It starts with the callsign of the DX Station. Next is the frequency. then country information. Notice that each field is separated with a |. Real simple/easy for your PC to extract the information.
On the bottom line, you will see Localhost|-5.5625|-119.95833. This is the source of the DX Spot, the Lat and Long of YC8ABD.
What happens if some bright spark makes a DX Spot where (for example) the originator is not K4CY-# but K4CY-|? The unexpected | in the string means that Logger32 extracts the word Localhost as the latitude. Not nice.
So, those who are experiencing the error need to do the detective work to identify where the unexpected | is coming from. Then hopefully I can make a quick fix.
Or something like this, SeventyThree(s).

... another possible/likely source if the unexpected | is someone making a DX Spot comment like this "something | something else". I haven't been able to find a cluster that causes the problem. I'll have to reply on someone experiencing the problem identifying the source. SeventyThree(s).

Jan, if you are seeing DX Spot markers on the map, then the latitude/longitude were read correctly. What you need to do is wait for the error to occur then look at the last DX Spot received in the Telnet (or Localhost) window. Where is the extra/unwanted |? SeventyThree(s).

Jan, let me correct that ... I think the DX Spot marker is put on the Tracking window map before it is written to the Telnet/Localhost window. So, next time you get the error, click OK, then look at the Telnet/Localhost window for the offending DX Spot. Either way, look around for an extra | somewhere. SeventyThree(s)

That's it. I'll filter out the |s from the comments field. I will send a test version to the Beta testers shortly, but it will be a day or three before I distribute an update. In the mean time maybe you can contact of DX Spot originator and ask him to cease an desist.
