Are you sure that's the problem?  It looks like my local digi is sending 
the same kind of packets and it shows up on my Xastir screen and Findu 
with no problems:

KB7ZVA-11>APN383,WIDE2-2,qAS,KB7ZVA-1:!3303.28NN11449.66W#PHG6870/Black 
Mtn. Imperial Valley KB7ZVA

Or am I missing something that's different?  It's the 'NN' that is 
supposedly wrong correct?
