In response to my feature request for the ability to append our own labels for frequencies; e.g., "20M Digital Voice" for 14.236, I was pointed to http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10346 which purports to show how to edit the database -- a poor substitute for being able to RMB on the frequency display and being offered the option to "Label this Frequency," but anyway...
OK, I use OpenOffice Base to link to PowerSDR.mdb, figure out how to add an entry to the BandText table (only at the end, not in numerical order!!!!), discover that the existing format allows only two decimal places so that 14.236 gets rounded to 14.24, change the format to allow three decimal places, add the new entry, and save the database -- as an OpenOffice file, which is the only format option I am offered. How do I get the changes into PowerSDR.mdb? Color me frustrated.
