Error Message: Unable to load/write config: invalid character 'a' looking for beginning of value

[Ian Derrickson]

I'm getting the following error message when running pat on windows 10.  I've ran this from what I thought was the exact same way on a windows 7 machine and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

"Unable to load/write config: invalid character 'a' looking for beginning of value"

never mind. I figured out the problem.  The error is telling me that there is a word that is missing quotations to identify the object.  In this case [ax25] needed to have quotations around it.  ["ax25"].
