Data:
* Packet Body Only - Decoding will add a NOCALL header to your packet so it can go through our complete packet decoding process. Be sure not to include any
packet header information when selecting this option.
* Our parser returns all decoded measurements in metric units. The decoder does follow the imperial units setting at this time.

The site has been updated to fix several issues which were reported by users today.
Broken Links We soft-launched a new URL rewriting algorithm yesterday to reduce duplicate pages on the major search engines. That didn't quite work as well as expected and
resulted in many broken links throughout the site. Most, if not all of the issues caused by this have now been fixed.
Search Fixes The APRS portion of the search engine was broken by some a set of fixes that were released yesterday. Those issues have been corrected.
Speed Reporting Fix Uncompressed position packets containing course/speed information were being incorrectly parsed and displayed. This has been resolved
and archived data is being corrected. Legacy data should be accurate within 24 hours.
Improved Connection Recovery The site application should recover more quickly and silently from brief losses in the connection back to our servers.
Additionally, the reconnection mechanism has been improved for browsers that put background pages to sleep.
Please report any further issues using the Contact Us option in the About menu.
