[Dxbase] Mode default

[AL9A]

Don,

Instead of trying to figure our the anomaly in DXBase, why not investigate interfacing DXBase to your radio? That way DXBase will fill in all frequency and mode information for you from the radio settings. Now you don't have to worry about changing frequency, band or mode and getting the wrong info from the previous entry logged.
