[Dxbase] questions

hmmm
if I type a call into the Callsign field, it is type in lower case, but as soon as I leave 
that field it changes to upper case.
KG4 is a tough nut to decode.
Depending on the date.
First off KG4xx, only a 2 letter suffix is Guantanamo.
KG4XXX with a 3 letter is USA area 4
and only after a certain date which I can't remember at the moment.
as for the IOTA, that may be because the IOTA maven add and delete previous islands 
occasionally and it may not be up to date in the new program as the iota db is a year old 
now.
You can get a update from Joe Glockner.
and did you remember to 'initialize' the log upon starting DXB after importing?
