[Elecraft] DATA A Mode Changes to AFSK A

[Don Wilhelm]

Joe,

I have done many firmware upgrades and my data mode has stayed the same 
as it was previously set.
I have mine currently set to PSK D, so there is not an exact comparison 
with your experience, but I really don't think it is the firmware 
upgrade causing it.

73,
