QT 5.2 gcc version 4.8.0 --> show 144.55 contain 144.55
QT 5.5 gcc version 4.9.2 --> show 000001 contain 144.55000000000001

IMPORTANT: it is only a "Easter Egg" of nationalization and not 
compromises program work. It may be deferred to a far future.

Italian Windows, localization "Italia" (Italy)
Output is everywhere correct.
Input depend on field.
in Settings --> frequencies
- frequency calibration, "Intercept" and "Slope" fields:
comma give correct results, dot is accepted but skipped in calculation
eg. in "Slope":
1,23 -->  1,2300 ppm
1.2,3 -->  12,3000 ppm
12.3 --> 123,0000 ppm

- Working frequency o Station Information, "double-click" on Frequency 
or Offset or mouse-right insert comma is simple refused. Only 0-9 and 
"dot" are accepted.
