It just occurred to me that when I list a Radial/Distance point in
DUATS as part of a route, DUATS converts it to Lat/Lon. Maybe that's a hint
that Lat/Lon is preferred.

Hmmmm...we use DUATS to file all the time, and have never observed
this. Can you give more details? Were you using duats on the web
or through a different program? What format did you use to enter
the VOR radial/distance?

Thanks!

PS what the people who wrote DUATS prefer, and what ATC prefers,
are not necessarily the same thing. you might *think* the former
would talk to the latter -- but don't count on it
