Darren,

NKX is in the snstns.tbl as 72293. MYF is in snstns_land.tbl as 72290
(which actually is a mis-nomer from the USAF tables which use that
6 digit pseudo number of 722903....since SAN is 72290.

If you use snstns.tbl, then you should be fine.

If you are using snworld.tbl with the dcuair decoder, it lists both 
NKX and MYF as 72293 and SAN as 72290. If that is the table you are using,
I would suggest deleting the MYF entry- that will ensure that your
new files get created with NKX as 72293, and no conflict. I'll make
that change in the distribution tables for 5.6.D.
