Bill, I also noted this odd behavior when logging in CW-R mode. I worked around it by only using CW (not CW-R) and setting the IC756ProII (via its front panel setup) so that CW uses the USB rather than the LSB. Now DXBase 2003 logs the mode properly, and there is no frequency shift between CW and SSB (USB). However, this does not allow me the convenience and flexibility to change to CW-R to avoid QRM. DXBase really should log CW-R as CW, not as DUPLOHELL. 73, Walt, AJ6T
