[Dxbase] How to add FT8 as a submode in DXBASE ?

[Rod Greene]

Someone please double check me on this -


Here's how I remember doing it:


Tools|Database Access|Digital Mode Names - the last one on the list -

then click on the first box to the right of "Digital Modes" to add a new mode to the list. (enter FT8) and close out of drop down.


When entering a new FT8 QSO into DXBase, the first mode entry is "Digital" and then the Sub Mode to select is "FT8".

Works well for me and I have many confirmed FT8 QSOs in LoTW.

---------------------- My Problem with this mode ------------------

I can't get the signal report columns to accept a "-" in front of the db number I am entering. For example if I want to enter

a "-09" for a signal report, it comes out as "09". Anyone know how to do this?


Hope this helps! 73 and Happy New Year

Using DXBASE v.1.10

Is there a way to include (add) FT8 under TOOL/OPTIONS/USER
OPTIONS/DEFAULT PSK SUBMODE ?

That way it will show up in LoTW (via tQSL) as correct DIGI submode ?

Happy New Year to everyone.
