I do not "trust" that number. ICOM dstar TRUSTS(dsipsvd) use separators:
0x0a = RECORD separator. 0x09 = FIELD separator. Since I do NOT trust that number, I use the RECORD separators and get every RECORD in the FULL DB and every RECORD in subsequent updates without doing computations on numbers and this way I do NOT miss anything. I do not treat the FULL db download as a string, I treat it as FILE download. I get about 3.5 MB on the LIVE system.
