[Dx4win] Question on F3 Callsign Lookup

[Kostas SV1DPI]

1. File>preferences>ext data
2. In website callsign lookup
  a. check the box to enable
   b. in callsign lookup address write http://www.qrz.com/
   c. in qsl manager lookup address write http://www.qrz.com/
(becareful don't forget to write the last  /  it is the usual mistake)
3. File > Save changes and exit

Now you can do this...

1. When you are in main window you can push F3 and a new window will come up 
with the callsign of the call in the QSO window.
2. Press enter and explorer will open with the qrz.com information for this 
call
