i will say this charter spectrum was here yesterday and installed a new line from a different pole to my house with a new junction box and a new run of coax to the other side of my house where the original line is going to thru the wall to the modem ...............why would this affect this ? all tho i was concerned about the extra run of coax and signal loss but said it was the quality of signal not the loss that made the diff (not sure about that)
yes it has worked fine in past

Ok - so probably recent change in the data -- seems to be in the location data -- I see some crazy long LAT/LON values for a few sites (could be down to the resolution of the size of a penny on the ground!).... wonder if something is getting overwritten in the code/data.
The site on wheels has no location data but I don't think that is new.

This just started recently, and appears only on the MPSCS (Of course, my home system) so far. I have emails in to Lindsay to check into it but haven't heard back on that yet. I expect I'll hear back in the next day or two. The error occurs while retrieving the talkgroup categories from the web service.
Even updating to the latest version of the web service didn't resolve it.

FWIW - I imported the system without issue using Win500.
It wouldn't have anything to do with these crazy 'precise' (probably not) LAT and LON values, would it?

No, it appears to be an issue with an invalid character in a category (County) tag that's causing the SOAP library that came with my compiler to choke on the category import. Still looking to see if there's anything I can do with the library to mitigate the issue.

Perhaps Lindsay can change the decimal data type to string. We had that same problem years ago with Latitude and Longitude data types set at decimal and if they contained blanks, My and other programs would choke.

It was in an alpha tag for a county. Lindsay fixed that one, but now there's one in a talkgroup record causing the same error.

Looking at the error message, it appears to be the "Range" that has a decimal data type.

The error message is misleading. It's actually an issue now with TGID 4193 and 4198 where there are bad characters in the description field. If you look at the database page and find those talkgroups you'll see it.

Yup - see it now... that is a weird error message that doesn't really help at all!

I didn't write the error message. That's what the compiler's SOAP library gave me on a parse error. It would have been better if it hadn't given part of the data line.
There's a lot more information provided in the exception details (i.e. Line number, line position, etc.) that allowed me to track down the actual issue when I added some debug code to the program.

I went ahead and fixed those two descriptions. Maybe an artifact from the forums update? Not a character one can normally put in for sure.
Thanks for letting us know!
Side note: I sent in the info to Mike on the psredit500 yahoo page about the encryption mode flags that were changed in the database, the DE/De etc. and is working on an update.

There are others appearing as well on other systems. Lindsay thinks it has to do with the database update. He fixed a couple on the ARMER system in MN this morning. I've also reported a couple talkgroups on the Palmetto system this morning as well.
I'm having one issue on the encryption flags, but still trying to track that down.
