[Dxbase] KC6 Prefex Problem

Thu Sep 16 03:26:29 EDT 2004

The reason for "K" Prefix coming up is as follows (and of course the
"K" prefix in this case is correct):
(1) There is nothing of KC6P in the Call Map table ... so, the next
check is at the Alias Map table .....
(2) There is no KC6P in the Alias Map table -- there is a KC6C .. BUT,
since it is not a "prefect match" the logic then checks for a
3-character of KC6 -- nothing at all of KC6 by itself.. the next logic
check is ...
(3) The 3-character failed - so logic does a 2-character check for
KC ... since there is no KC as a perfect match ... we go to the next ..
(4) The 1-character logic check for "K" ... no K by itself -- so, with
the "K" being the last check in the Alias Map table -- the logic then
goes to ...
(5) The Primary table ... where of course "K" prefix is USA ...
That is the reason why 2005 shows "K" prefix when I and you enter
KC6P as the callsign ...
The above info just as FYI for why it is happening like it is...
KC6P (as that callsign) "can" be Mapped/edited into the Call Map
as "K" prefix -- that would be the best place to put a full callsign
like KC6P ... but, again, this is totally up to the user - since
for me KC6P already comes up "K" prefix .. I will not do anything
further.
73 and hope that all in Gulf Coast are SAFE!!!!!
