[Dx4win] Linking callsigns

[Paul van der Eijk]

Ken,

In File | Preferences | QSO | Check callsign update

Make sure SameCall window is open.

As soon as you enter any character, the SameCall window will show
all entries containing those characters. So if you want to see any call
containing 5TTL, this will work. When you have typed WN5, the 
SameCall window will not show any entries for W5TTL, because the
substring does not match.

(This assumes you have set substring callsign search as you mentioned
you did)
