hello,

this is Martin, DL4NAC. many thanks to all of you who helped solve the following 
problem, especially to k4fj, n3rd and pa3aav!

the solution is simple: as most of you stated, the correct switch is -AC (Antenna 
Control). we dont know, why there es stated -A in our version 9.39 ALT-H-file and 
nothing in some ALT-H-files of other versions. in the version9-manual it is correct.

we tried all of our 4 computers (that is why this answer lasted some time) and the 
top ten devices band decoder works perfectly at all of these with the -AC switch!

many thanks again, 73s de Martin, DL4NAC.
