[Dx4win] Ignore mode in real time and spots!

[LA9PJA at QSL.NET]

Hello Radi!

I agree with you, but as far I'm know, there's an option to actually disable the mode window even 
working with the radio connected, but DX spots shouldn't affect this widow as stated on help pages:
----------------------------------------
The mode for the QSO. 

The Mode field is initially set to the value specified in the default QSO. All QSO entered subsequently will have the same mode setting as the last QSO entered. 

If a radio is connected and QSOs are added in real-time, the mode is continuously obtained from the radio until the QSO is entered in the log. There is an option to ignore the mode from the radio, Main Window | Radio | Ignore Mode in real-time. This can be useful when adding RTTY QSOs for example with the radio in LSB mode. 

When using a mode for an award, the QSO modes are mapped to the more generic modes; CW, Phone and RTTY. Some modes, like SSTV, are mapped to phone, but it is still custom to exchange RST reports with three digits. The table below summarizes the mappings and the RST defaults. 

In the Pattern column, the letters have the following meaning: 

 N   Normal rs(t) as many digits as the default value  
 
 A   Aurora reports in the form: rsA, rsR, Rrs  
 
 O   Oscar reports; allows 59 for CW , and allows O as a report
