Actually MM will highlight that also. It does not use Dons database however;
it uses some sort of
algorithm to detect what should be a callsign (1 or 2 letter prefixes, 2 or
three letter suffixes, etc). It does a pretty good job
but stumbles somewhat on callsigns like HA80IARU, K7C or others that don't
fit the "standard" rules. It will, however, highlight those if they are
preceded by DE. I've been using MM  for rtty contests
for a few years now and have yet to regret it's purchase ;)
