Hi Mike & all,

At my knowledge and in contrast to "/P", "/M", "/MM", the suffix "/QRP"
is not an allowed suffix. But there may be national differences.

Hi Mike & Claude,

the behaviour Mike reports is a defect but he should note that "DE W9MDB/QRP 73" is a valid standard message while "DE W9MDB/QRP 2W" is not. The latter can only be partially sent as a standard message and should be truncated to "DE W9MDB/QRP ". The way these types of prefixes and suffixes are encoded into a message uses up the portion of the message normally used to contain grids, reports etc..

There is a defect in the way these type of prefixes are encoded when extraneous characters are added to the message, for now I would suggest either sticking to the standard "DE W9MDB/QRP 73" form or using another standard form or free text message without a prefix or suffix for this.
