Eric, Since the PREFIX column in the Labels Pending Database is "hard-coded" within DXbase, I think that only Jack can answer you question ..
I see that the K4A (or any other USA call-area) only comes up when I save a USA call that has "three" letters after the numerical digit of the callsign ... Hard to say without seeing the coding - whether this is a glitch/bug -- or -- whether it was intentional. 73 Joe wa6axe ________________________________ > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 20:20:07 -0500 > Subject: [Dxbase] Label Prefix - Why K4A? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > There is something I don't understand about Prefix and > U.S.A. callsigns generated in the label database, this is the prefix that I > use > to sort my cards on before packaging them up for the bureau.
