DX Focus Call

The DX Focus Call is the call sign that CommCat uses as a default call. Many windows, such as the Instant Web Page, use the DX Focus Call to create a view. Other windows, such as the Log window, are preloaded with the DX Focus Call automatically to facilitate special functions, such as logging. The DX Focus Call is displayed in the caption bar of the main CommCat window.
