I use the Enigma simulator but I suspect your message is improperly coded. I've had no luck decoding the message. What is the method you used for encoding the trigram? Correct procedure is to set the machine to FOD, then encode BFX. The result is the message key. Reset the machine's rotor start positions to the message key, then encode your message.
