Incorrect 'Nearest METAR station' and METAR not loading.

[G0DDF]

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to say what a great bit of software LOG4OM2 is. I used to run Ham Radio Deluxe, but have changed to LOG4OM2. Many of our fellow radio amateurs locally are also running it.

I am running LOG4OM2 version 2 v.2.28.0.0 (latest version), but this was also happening with previous versions. I have been running LOG4OM2 for a few years.

I have, I believe, correctly configured LOG4OM2 I followed Terry's very useful YouTube videos (thank you Terry!).

Details of the issue:

I have correctly configured my 'Station Information' - please see screenshot attachment.

The 'Program Notifications' show that the 'METAR INFORMATION UPDATED FOR UK MET EXETER' - please see screenshot attachment.

The METAR Station of EGRR is incorrectly set against my Station Information. I see how this has happened. I believe that it is a mix-up of when the Met Office moved from Bracknell to Exeter, EGRR, although listed as 'UK MET EXETER' still reports the weather for Bracknell. See information below.

I cannot find a way to change the METAR station to EGTE Exeter Airport. I find 'Nearest Airport' and 'save and exit', but it still sets it to EGRR, so I am guessing that this is done internally from a look-up table.

Any help would be appreciated. I expect that his must also be happening to others in this area.

Thank you in advance.
