Pathfinder 4.6.0. oddity

wc5m

Dave,

I just noticed something odd with Pathfinder 4.6.0 probably related to the changes QRZ recently implemented.  Not a big problem but strange. If I type in a callsign such as OY/DD1LD and click on the QRZ link Pathfinder displays a page titled "Name Search Results" and displays a long list of callsigns with OY in the address somewhere.  If I go directly to the QRZ website and do the same it shows a link to DD1LD.

I noted that some time ago.  But when I hand typed the call in the qrz page, the correct call would come up.

Its the slash in the callsign that's causing trouble. If you attempt a
lookup of

OY/DD1LD

via the QRZ.com site, it performs a lookup on DD1LD. I'll extend Pathfinder
to emulate this behavior.
