[Dstar] JFindU data error

[Matt]

Nautical miles are a reasonably useful measure a times - as an aside, there 
is approximately 1.85 Km to one nautical mile which is also one minute of 
lattitude - making it useful with a GPS. Kn is an americanised abbreviation 
for nautical miles per hour (the correct abbreviation is kt or kts). NM - or 
sometimes nm - is the correct abbreviation for nautical mile - even if it 
can sometimes be confused with the abbreviation for nanometres - but I guess 
you have to look at the context it is used in.
