Callsigns don't match error message

When I highlight a QSO and click HamQTH.COM lookup I get the popup window showing the lookup results, and another window pops up stating "Callsigns don't match!"
The same happens with qrz.com lookups.
I'm running 4.9 beta 3.

This message box is shown, when you try to add data from HamQTH.com or qrz.com to the logging mask and the call-signs are not the same.
This is to prevent adding wrong data into the log.

Well but that's the part I don't understand. For example, I have a QSO with YO8TTT, I do the search after highlighting that QSO and I get the error message, even though the call sign shown is the same?

I can't duplicate that here. What are you doing? Step by step please, or a screen shoot would be helpful.

Fire up RUMlog (I have 4.9 beta 3)
Highlight a QSO
Click on QSO -> HamQTH.com lookup
First the search result window pops up, then the error message pops up.
Not sure how to paste a screenshot, I'll email it to you.

That happens to me but only when I look up a portable call.
I don't use HAMqth I use QRZ.com but if I look up HH2/HB9AMO for example I will get that cautionary message.

Rick,
qrz.com does not support portable calls. When you query for FS/DL2RUM, DL2RUM's info will be returned and most of these information may be wrong. HamQTH.com is working on it.
