yes, usually I'm using it also this way - but the markers didn't
worked for me, when I've tried first time.

Now on Xplanet forum the core developer helps me, and I can use
it - but xplanet drops many errors, and I don't like this method,
so the Tlf makes a fresh marker, but the old records disappears
from the map, when xplanet re-read that. (I understand why, just 
I don't like that :)). The best way should be what I see on
bandmap (depends on my settings, eg. only current band, ...),
that IS on the map (of course the map has some latency, but I can
live with that :))
