[Logic] "CW" vs "CWN" modes with Yaesu rig

Hi Bill,

Look in the help file under "radio interfacing."  I think there is a
way to restrict the list of possible modes for a particular radio in
the modes box listed in the radio ifc window.  Here's a snippet from
the help file:

When logging information from the radio, LOGic compares the mode you
are currently operating with this list. If the current mode is not
found, it ignores the mode returned by the radio and logs the mode
from the last QSO. This allows you to log modes such as PKT or TOR
that do not appear on your rig's Mode switch. For example, suppose you
are operating TOR. Your rig's VFO is set to LSB. LOGic will
automatically log LSB. Manually change the mode to TOR. LOGic will
continue to log TOR for subsequent contacts. Now, suppose that you
start operating CW. LOGic will continue to log TOR for the
mode. Manually change it to CW. Since CW is supported by your rig, it
will now resume reading the mode from the radio on subsequent
QSOs. The list of supported modes is hard-coded in the rig driver
program, so normally you do not have to enter anything for
Modes. However, some drivers may serve more than one rig model which
do not all support the same modes. In that case, you may enter a list
of modes here. Separate each mode with a comma. For example:
AM,FM,SSB,LSB,CW,CWN,RTTY

Does this work?
