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

Hi Bill -- you can fix this if you go to Tools, Setup, Modes. You will 
see three columns. Actual Mode is what is logged on the log form but 
Mode for awards tracking is what is printed on a Qsl card. So, go to CWN 
in the second column and change the setting to CW. The two columns will 
then read:
	CW CW
	CWN CW
instead of:
	CW CW
	CWN CWN
This solved the problem for me when printing cards.
