Dennis, when you put a prefix in the info form and it shows mileage to/from, is that based on some generic value, or is it using something like your grid square to calculate it?

Hey Doug, been a while !!

It uses your lat lon from the station info form and then for your QSO partner its based on prefix, so a gross calculation, but accuracy is much better if you enter their State or better yet Grid. I guess in most instances having a 4 character Grid entered would be better, 6 character better yet.
