It could be fixed by resetting the ignore mode when you exit either mmtty or psk31. This would be logical. Yes its very annoying because the mode thereafter is picked up by dx spots which explains why I log the wrong mode sometimes. Maybe a warning flag too?? I'm going to solve the problem by using mmtty and its logging feature and winwarbler, dxlabs, for psk31/63 which works better for me anyway on these digital modes.
As far as I'm concerned that part of the program is broken.( mmtty & psk ) 73 N8DX On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 11:04 AM, Larry Gauthier (K8UT) <k...@arrl.net>wrote: > Paul, > > Thank you for this explanation.
