This I believe is an Achilles heal for DX4win, spotting ability! This as a Dxer is a sad thing to miss one. The cure is *NOT * to have multi prefix countries defaulted to *ONE* prefix only with an incoming cluster spots :(( (I know you can manually insert an upcoming callsigns.) As I stated before, have the program ask the operator what it could possibly be? I often double check incoming spots when there could be a doubt. All prefixes in all multi prefix countries should be *IN* there, and the same meaning, in the countries FIELD of prefixes. (i.e.) 3D2, CE0, FR, FT5, HK0, OH0, PP0, VK0, VK9, VP2, VP8. As of now I believe the only defense we have is to be forewarned and manually type in and educate the software. Just my suggestion. 73, Bernie/WO2N.>
