What ADDE server are you using?  It may be the case that the server
you are using does not have decoding of the significant levels turned on.

No, I am still using v2003. When I'll have some time I will try to  
upgrade to v2004.
As a note, soundings from North America are ok, the ones from France  
are not.

No problem, when you have time. Thanks!
