[ct-user] Radio interface

[Dallas Carter]

You need to edit your cty.dat file.  Use the dos editor, or editor of your
choice, and scroll down to the K's.  You will see many lines of things like
calls with numbers and brackets behind them.  The calls are delimited by
comas.
If you have a line like -  K4BAI(4)[8], W3PP(5)[8],N3AIU(3),
just insert the KH6 as follows:
  -  K4BAI(4)[8], W3PP(5)[8],KH6NO/M(3),N3AIU(3),
This tells the program that if it comes across KH6NO/M that it counts for
U.S. and not Hawaii.  CT does not use the zone for country multiplier, so
your 03 entry counts for zone 3, but it still thinks KH6NO is Hawaii.  Hope
this helps
