Compressed Preprocessor

Note that the following is done at object creation to ensure proper formatting:

    private final DecimalFormatSymbols dfs = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
    TNCparser()
    {
        dfs.setDecimalSeparator('.');
        dfs.setZeroDigit('0');
    }

This code converts compressed format to standard format.

    protected void convertCompressed(String theString, Report theReport)
    {
        // theString is the compressed part of the packet
        if (!theReport.toField.startsWith("AP")) return; // Will cause lat parse to bomb
        
        // Parse Icon for later adjustment
        char symID = theString.charAt(0);
        
        // Adjust the icon for plain text
        if ((symID >= 'a') && (symID <= 'j')) symID = (char)(symID - 49);
        char symCode = theString.charAt(9);
        if (!isValidSymbol(symCode) || !isValidOverlay(symID)) return;
