If the first letter is missing then it won't work as the match has to
be complete. This seems to be some kind of network ( or possibly
Freerunner specific issue ) as I've had the missing character reported
before. I have always tested by sending from a different phone. I'll
test again using the freerunner to track itself.

SHR uses fso-gpsd and the will handle multiple clients.
