[Dxbase] [dxbase] Results of the "3" CDROM tests -- Joe wa6axe

Is there a way to "turn off" the RAC look-up. I tried turning it off in Options, but it didn't seem to turn off.

 ALL:
 Dennis (K6DS) had a HamCall CDROM and provided me with his results a minute ago --
 SO - now we have the final results of ALL 3 of the CDROM's that DXbase supports
 RAC (Flying Horse) Callbook CDROM -- because each of the records on this CD contains
 the COORDINATES for the DX Station -- this RAC CDROM will "NOT" give the correct Beam Heading and
 Distance.
 QRZ and HamCall Callbook CDROMs -- BOTH of these CDROMS are ALL OK and WILL provide the
 proper Beam Heading and Distance --- this is possible because neither of these CDROM records
 contains any coordinates info for the DX Station..
 As long as the DXbase User (with a RAC CDROM Lookups) remembers that their Beam Headings
 and Distance "WILL NOT be correct" -- the Other info from the RAC CDROM will populate all ok ...
 Just providing the results of this look-see as FYI to all users!
