go to the very bottom of the list and ENTER in the column:

Click-on the entry right above that new entry - then "X" out of the
window completely ... Come right-back-into the Prefix Database
(as noted above) -- and this time go to the Call Map TAB --
In the Prefix column right-click that column - and in the
MENU select "Find"
Enter T9 in the textbox -- click Find next --
More than likely NO ENTRY will be found -- if
a T9 Prefix "is found" simply change it to E7..
Continue with the SEARCH to find next ... until
there are no more T9 prefixes found ... clear out
of the FIND small window ..
Now - click-on the Alias Map TAB ... right-click-on the Pri PFX
column - Select Find ... Enter T9 in the textbox and press on
Find Next ... change the "found" T9 Pri PFX entry to E7 ..
press Find Next -- do the same thing when you "find" another T9
(change it to E7) -- continue this process until all Pri PFX T9
are FOUND and CHANGED to E7 ..
Now -staying in the Alias Map TAB -- go to the
TOP of the listing -- right-click-on the
Old1 PFX column - select the FIND again -- you will now
SEARCH the Old1 PFX column for any T9 entries --
when found -- change the T9 to E7 ...
Now - staying in the Alias Map TAB ... go to the VERY BOTTOM
of that list -- and ENTER/ADD:
Map PFX: E7
Pri PFX: E7
When you finish entering the above - click-on the entry right
above the new addition -
Now - go back to the Primary TAB -- and DELETE the T9 Prefix
entry in it's entirety ... then
go back up and find your E7 entry in the Primary TAB (Prefix
column) go to the ARRL-ID column and change that 999 that
we entered to read 501
as always - to save the new entry - click-on the entry right
above the modified entry --
Now - you are done in the Country Prefix Tables ---
GO TO your logbook QSO window -- and CHANGE "ALL"
of your Bosnia-Hercegovina QSOs (that being either a T9
callsign or an E7 callsign) in the Prefix column of the
QSO logbook to read E7 ...
You are done ... Reinitialize Tables .....
