Which no doubt accounts for the fact that after 50 repeats and spelling 
with 6 different type of phonetics we so often get "5/9" reports
for signals that we see as 4/1 at best!
This might be appropriate for the DC bands but for vhf/uhf and the 
higher bands it is patently ludicrous.  What is the point of bothering 
with a signal report in the exchange if it is not a reflection of reality?
That said, I'll take the answer to the original question as a 'No' 
and continue looking for more appropriate software.
Many thanks
