[WT-support] WT 4.11.0 - call sign notes

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Hello Bob,
 
Tnx for the info on the callsign.pat file.  As I mentioned in my  email, 
this is the first time I have seen these messages,and I find them, let's  say, 
interesting.  They are not particularly bothersome, nor are they  
particularly helpful.  As I was seeing obviously incorrect messages, I  became 
suspicious that the message file was out of date....too bad.
 
73, George.

George,  


Please read this web page in the Wiki for a full explanation, including  
the location of the callsign.pat file, and how to update it:


http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/Menu:Tools#Callsign_check



Unfortunately, the pattern file has not been kept up-to-date, so if you  
find this feature unhelpful, you can disable it via Tools -> Data Entry  -> 
Callsign Check -> Disabled.



73,  
Bob, N6TV

I am using 4.11.0, and 'am seeing something that I don't recall seeing  
before.  It is notes (in red and yellow fonts) that display below  the log line 
that say something about specific call signs that  I key in.  
 
Here is an example:  When I key in RT6T, I get this  message (red font): 
"Suffix not used with 6, or 7!"  I have worked  RT6T on three bands this week, 
so I have to believe it is a legit stn.
 
Ok, so here are my questions about these messages:
1.) Where are these messages coming from?
2.) Is there a file that generates these messages?  If  so, how is this 
updated over time, and by whom?  
 
I am getting these messages on some legitimate call signs, so this  leads 
me to believe that some of the messages are incorrect.   Therefore, it seems 
that the messages will have to be updated periodically  to keep up with the 
myriad of ways that call signs are issued in various  countries.  Please let 
me know how this will  be done.  
 
Thanks, George J75KG / K5KG
