Chirp just uses the getZipcodeInfo() function in the Radio Reference API (http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/RadioReference.com_Web_Service3.1#M...). As far as I can tell, they don't indicate what the behavior should be if a Canadian postal code is entered here, so I can't tell you what to expect. I don't see any recommendations in their documentation for how to handle Canadians (but I didn't look very hard).

Thanks for looking, not very techy myself but will snoop around and try and find an answer, Cheers, Gary
