Hey guys,

I recently re-installed Windows XP Pro on my main Desktop for the shack.  I use Weather Watcher to output a weather file to DM780 when I'm on digital modes to send a short local weather report consisting of [Condition], [Temp].  This usually TX's as "Partly Cloudy, 39°F/ 4°C".  The problem is the degree symbol no longer is present, just the coding for the degree symbol,  Â° .

Can any of you coding guys tell me how to get the degree symbol to output again?

Thanks, BD

Where do you put that?  Pretend coding is another language that I don't speak.
