Hi Rob,

Regarding the II data repair, that effected data recorded in 1993 and later, so that action could not be the issue here.

I found an announcement from Rick back in Dec 2001 regarding IRIS/IDA resending their data to correct for mistakes in the MK7 datalogger.  At that point, they were supposed to re-send data going back to 1993 containing numeric location codes.  Since you are looking at 1992 data, I am not sure when that got shifted in our archives, so what you received may indeed be pretty old.  Perhaps Rick can remember what the II resend history looked like.

The data in the archive was written pre-2011 and not modified since and such a change is not something the DMC would do during delivery.  Any chance your copy has been modified in the last 4 years?
