Negative longitudes (i.e. West of Greenwich meridian 0 degrees) are not recognised. Icons on APRS.FI appear at 0 degrees longitude. Previous version works correctly. My test data: Lat 50.409395 Long -4.223572

Hi there Kevin - I'm running the new version on two digis here at the qth. I had no issues with inputting a negative longitude.

Have tested again with another Lilygo board and a Heltec board on version 3 - both worked correctly. Cannot understand why first one didn't. I will test again with original board when I can gain access to it. Will close this report for now
