This is actually not a bug. I forgot APRS encoding of the packet isn't straight decimal. It's degrees minutes.hundredthsOfMinutes. As I was just copying out and moving the decimal, I got the manual verification incorrect. When using the algorithm to decode, the coordinates are correct as verified by the site cited in the original bug report.
Closed!
Description
When testing latest changes (#93) against real packets, it appears that the full 6-char gridsquare locator is in accurate. I'm getting the following interpretations.
5017.57N/00404.80E_ (JO20AH)
which maps 50.1757N, 004.0480E to JO20ah. However, the coordinates don't appear to be in the box in various online tools. One tool indicated such coordinates should be inJO20ae
.Similar with a decode on
5050.28NT00420.23E&
to JO20EU.Acceptance Criteria
