Phil,

For the acceptable TQSL Modes in your ADI file -- open you
TQSL program and go to File / Create New ADIF file / ...
Now, go to the Mode "drop-down" window .. there, you will see
the acceptable TQSL modes ... "if" your MODE column of DXbase
doesn't show one of those "acceptable" TQSL Modes - then, you
will have to go into the following in your TQSL program:

File / Preferences / ADIF Modes TAB /

In that area is where you will tell the TQSL program how to
"Map" the existing MODES you have in DXbase Mode column to
an "acceptable" TQSL Mode ..

Such as:

LSB -> SSB

since LSB is not an acceptable mode for TQSL ... there is
an area in your TQSL program with a good HELP File ..

Hpe that this helps out.
