Re: DXView's ""Populate override content from entity"

Joe,
I'm not so well versed in the CTY?terminology. With the "default grid" I mean the reference? grid that pops up when you enter a random call in DXView. All DXCC entities seem to have at least one.?

There is no "default locator" for any entity other than HC1, 1A, 3A
which are smaller than a four character grid.

The grid that is populated when selecting any entity is the one that
either Dave or I selected as a reference (typically geographical center
with some modifications to "center of largest city") when creating or
updating the DXCC database.
