[Dx4win] Ignore mode in real time and spots!

[Radivoj KAR]

Carlos,
Yes, the command "ignore mode in real time" is supposed to do it, but Help
doesn't say that DXspots do NOT  affect the Mode change!  I agree with you
that they should not affect the Mode; they should do it ONLY if you decide
to click on a spot to select a DX station and call it in the mode it was
using, then, after QSO being logged, the logging window mode should revert
to the mode you have selected as default.
This is a small bug and I am confident Paul will fix it in some of the next
releases.

73,
Radi F6GNZ

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
