I did the same thing, but got this:

  ;1        *022102z4824.25N\12237.31Wm

Notice the 'm' at the end, which is the second part of a  signpost
symbol.

Changing it from an Object to an Item shouldn't matter in this case.
What should matter is the 'm' on the end.

Is it possible that someone on the internet screwed up the packet
and then sent it back to you without the 'm'?
