[Dx4win] DX4WIN "Glitch"

[Kjell W. Strom]

Jim,

I'm linking to qrz.com. Quite frequently my DX4WIN 7.03 inserts
a slash in front of the callsign before it is handed over to the
web. Then qrz.com cannot find the call, of course. It happened
also with 7.02, but not with the older version I used.

The insert does not happen immediately when I hit F3, only after
I have confirmed on the small window.

73,
Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI
