null being added to station name

Youngling Posts: 17 Join Date: 12/16/13 Recent Posts

We have entered our ASOS sites into the IRIS contacts with an LSR location identifying them as the airport location.  Example, we want the Beckley Airport to show up in IRIS reports instead of 3 SE Stanaford.  After we did this we noticed that the PNS shows " null Beckley Airport".  Where is that "null" coming from and how to we get it to go away?

Hi Tony,

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 'null' is the field for the distance/direction from the location. Have you tried entering something like '0 N' in those fields to see if it gets rid of the null?

Thank you,
