First,
Evidently there was an update on the cluster country file, and it removed my entry for South Orkney, had to re-do that. BUT looking at the cty download it had it correct. So maybe the xml file is not bing updated.
Next, 4u1un is not showing United Nations now for some reason. The upper window does show it correctly, but not the cluster window. What is going on? Any ideas?
The cluster being used is my cluster and all is up to date, so it is not that.

Re: Common Countries Not being set in Cluster
I have already explained this several time on the forum but here it is again
The cluster derives the country from the prefix only not the whole callsign and compares it to the country file, this will sometimes cause the cluster to display the entity and not the actual country.
The Falkland islands and South Orney being a good example, the cluster only finds Falkland Islands from the prefix
When the callsign is entered in the callsign field all resourses are checked to define the actual country or island, so now it displays South Orkney
If we looked up the full call sign and checked with all resources for every spot it would dramatically slow the cluster down and put a huge strain on resources like QRZ

Re: Common Countries Not being set in Cluster
That I can understand Terry and thanks for the explanation. Now of to the main reason for my posting.
How is 4U1UN not listed in the cluster window? It is a well known country and not a derivative. I am curious what could cause the cluster to not list a country as shown in my pic of the cluster? As you can see, the upper window is fine, but I do not use that unless I have populated it.
