[DXBase] Summary Window ?

If you check the ARRL handbook,
I think VU is an assigned prefix for India and it's possessions.
It's just 'convention' that VU4 & VU7 are recognized as Lacadive or
Andamans.
In fact a few months back there was some special event that used VU4 or VU7
and had the cluster crabs all in a dither.
So...
Say you have worked VU7AA
Enter it in your log, cursor to the 'Prefix' column and mouse click.
A selection menu will appear, select VU7-Lacadives.
When you then cursor to another empty log line, a pop up will appear saying
something like "Do you want to map VU7AA to VU7 Lacadives?"
Answer yes.
From now on, all VU7AA entries will automagically be mapped to Lacadives.
Now you could just do this after entering VU7 into the callsign field,
select Lacadives and save and the popup would then ask "Do you want to map
VU7. .etc"
But this may cause future errors in the log as it's entirely possible that
India could assign a call with that prefix to another special event or some
such.
There are a number of entities that have this problem.
K7K a few years back caused all sorts of screaming from some Euros who
claimed it had to be a Pirate as that should have been a Mainland callsign.
Hope this explains and solves your problem.
