[Dxbase] Marine Mobile

[FireBrick]

This is becoming a common problem Eric.


I saw one the other day (example)PA3/DJ1XXX/LH102

DXB decoded it as Norway.
There is no way for ANY software to figure out which is the prefix and what is added 
comments. lol

So what I do (a lot) is enter the call withOUT the special stuff like Maritime Mobile 2
etc.
And save the qso.
That will normally decode it to the correct entity.
Then I go back and add the part of the call I left off.

It's the only way I found...
