Errors in Contest EDI export

There is a minor error in the Export format "EDI for contests".

In the IARU-R1 VHF Handbook https://www.iaru-r1.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/VHF_Handbook_V9.01.pdf on page 91 are the allowed PBand listed. Unfortunately are not the right ones being exported for 2m and 70cm. It may cause problem with some test robots. A diff is provided below:


diff --git a/src/fEDIExport.pas b/src/fEDIExport.pas
index 999eccb..8fdc697 100644
--- a/src/fEDIExport.pas

Errors in Contest EDI export

Hi Thomas!

Thanks for error report and fix.

Do you have a GitHub account?
You could provide a pull request to official source by yourself with Git tools.
That would make it lot more easier to add.
If you need help for that you can send me a mail. You find my address from qrz or Hamqth.

Without testing:
Have you checked that this fix works also in Region2 and 3 bandplans? (Do they even need EDI export??)

Thanks a lot for pulling it!

Thanks a lot for pulling it!

I have two more fixes for the EDI support coming up. One is related to the exported modes and one is related to the distance calculation of the distance.

Well, the header of the generated export file say "[REG1TEST;1]" so I would expect this to be REG 1 only... At least the specification of the format is done in the REG1 spec as above but I don't know if REG2 or REG3 is using the same SPEC...

Regarding the github-account I have one. I will send you a separate mail.
