There's a "Show Multiplier" choice in a dropdown menu. The box that it brings up shows correct prefixs for all counties, and they change colors after being worked. I usually use it on phone, since my SSB copying skills need serious work.

I didn't experience this, and almost every one of my Q's netted a 4digit number. Perhaps the fix lies in reconfiguration of the entry window settings for the serial number field?
Now, if I could just figure out exactly what's causing windoze to dice up my CW keying....
