[Dx4win] POTA Entries

[Kostas SV1DPI]

I do the following

1. go to Custom Award. Type a P and you will get the pota award

2. Go to Vustom award value and type F1

3. In the new window select sorting with F2 either by code either by 
description

4. If you have selected by code, type the first letter of the code 
(let's say you want to write TO-0007). Type T O  and you are in TO-0001. 
Go below and select the right one.

Also an option is to type the first letter in Custom award value field. 
For example type T and you will go to the first T (TC-0001). Continue 
press T to go to a close value.

Unfortunately -- is not an option but if you selected one by mistake 
just not save it or type a - in custom award field. Even you will 
continue to see a value, dx4win will not save any value then
