I input the given MGRS Coordinates, but when I enter on convert this is what i see?

 

Why?null

The problem is that you never changed the Grid Zone Designator (GZD), it's still 30N, which is the corresponding GZD for N0° E0°. The 30N GZD has no Grid Square ID for 'WV,' so it throws an error. The GZD you're looking for (assuming this is the Sinai map) is 36R. JTACs in DCS currently don't provide the GZD in their callouts.

Thank you, I also remember now that in the F10 map view one can cycle through coordinate systems in the top left corner - until you see the same MGRS format, and then the 36R grid (GZD) appears for the Synai map, and different ones for other maps and grid locations.
