If you have not so high-speed computer, clear some or all dynamic search check boxes. In this case, after input of a callsign, it is possible to take advantage of shortcuts for displaying information from callbook for the contacted station's callsign.  
 
 
 
Tab Options  
 
QRZ, RAC, and RIC (dynamic) search check boxes  
Specifies that callsign, entered in interactive Callsign field, in appropriate callbooks (QRZ, RAC, and RIC) will be searched. The check boxes can be enabled only after specify of the correct path to databases.

For specify of the path to RAC, RIC, or GOLIST can use button to take advantage appropriate buttons from the right of path thus fields. At pressing these buttons displays the Open dialog box from which you can choose a file name or displays the Select Directory dialog box from which you can choose a directory. Change of color of fields (with magenta to yellow) signals what paths to the databases are indicated truly and databases are found. Now for a data search it will be possible to use F5 - QRZ, F6 - RAC, F7 – RIC, and F9 - GOLIST shortcuts.  
 
For increase of speed by operation with databases it is possible QRZ and RAC databases files, to copy on a hard disk. However, thus it is necessary to fulfil a rule. Files of QRZ databases and them may be only two (callbkc.dat and callbkc.idx), necessarily should be in a CALLBK folder, which necessarily should be in root directory of a hard disk. Files of RAC databases, which may be only three (thedata.dat, intlcall.idx and uscall.idx), necessarily should be in a DATA folder, which may be in any other folder. For example, if RAC database files are in folder "C:\Amateur Radio\Rac\Data\" when in the RAC ... Path field - "C:\Amateur Radio\Rac\" path should be indicated.
