There's a "Show Multiplier" choice in a dropdown menu.  The box that it brings up shows correct prefixs for all counties, and they change colors after being worked.  I usually use it on phone, since my SSB copying skills need serious work.

I didn't experience this, and almost every one of my Q's netted a 4digit number.  Perhaps the fix lies in reconfiguration of the entry window settings for the serial number field?

Now, if I could just figure out exactly what's causing windoze to dice up my CW keying....
