[Dx4win] CW vs CW-R

Ted,

Thanks but I have been there already.  Your solution now makes DX4Win
think CW is SSB and CW-R is CW and the problem is reversed.  I operate
both CW and CW-R modes and in the past have logged some CW QSOs as SSB.
I now know why.  The CW-R mode is a powerful tool to eliminate QRM and
want DX4Win to recognize both CW and CW-R as CW.  I have tried editing
the rig file with multiple CW entries etc. and the result is always
either CW or CW-R does not decode as CW.  I don't know the "key" as to
what needs to be in the rig file.  Can anyone help?

73,
