EchoMac 1.0 can't handle six-digit node numbers. Perhaps that's what 
you're seeing. The problem can be patched by changing MAXID from 7 to 
8 (in two .h files) and recompiling.

This symptom is also fixed by the same patch, along with most of the 
corruption in the station list.

I'm told there will be a new release incorporating this patch or 
something like it. Hopefully the official fix will include a more 
robust parser of the station list info.
