[PaQSO] Another N1MM question

Tue Oct 15 09:31:02 EDT 2013

That did the trick, John. Thanks for your help.
I didn't think I would try those modes, so didn't try it during 
my pre-contest run through.

Thanks again,

Rob N3RN

Rob,

If the QSO's were logged when the program was in RTTY and PSK mode, the
database contains the digital mode. 

If the QSO was logged with the wrong mode, right click on the QSO in the Log
window, select Edit Contact and correct the mode. The correct modes are:
PSK63 or RTTY.

The software generates a Cabrillo file with different digital mode strings
from the database and the Cabrillo mode output format hasn't changed since
PSK was added. 

John, K3CT

I thought of that.
But as you said, Cabrillo V3 only has RY as the digital catch-all. I worked
the bonus station on 40 meters RTTY and the next day on 40 PSK. Cabrillo V3
would say it's a dupe. The QSO party rules says it's a different mode.
I'd like to get credit for the two bonus station contacts.
Whats a guy to do?  ; )

Edit the cabrillo file to whatever the specs on the cabrillo file sez it 
should be for RTTY and PSK.  According the the link from arrl.org, there 
ain't no ID for PSK, but all the "non CW" digital modes, including RTTY, 
Feld Hell, PSK-31, et nausea, are specified as "RY."

For eggzamble, KX9X of ARRL HQ says, in his article @
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20-%20General/Tutorials/Submitting%20
An%20Electronic%20Contest%20Log.pdf
If that gets truncated in transmission, try this itty bitty url

Sean says there ain't no specific ID for RTTY or other (Non CW) digital 
modes.  "RY" is the ID for numerous kinds of "Non CW" digital modes.

So, following the advice of the grate gods on high @ ARRL, it would seem 
that you'd change the mode on the Cabrillo file from PH to RY

Hope this helps

Seems like your computer is being driven by whatever is on your rig, so 
when running PSK-31 or RTTY you have it the the Silly Sideband Mode, so 
it tells the computer that you're running SSB instead of a "non CW 
digital mode."   If you'd tell your computer to follow the band plan, 
rather than follow the rig, it "probably" would have changed to "RY" 
instead of USB or LSB. But, whenever I've tried that, there are always 
exceptions - like I find a CW station where RTTY is specified in some 
band plan, or RTTY or another (non CW) digital mode is found where CW is 
specified.

Hope this helps.

and PSK was USB). Unable to change the mode to either RTTY or PSK. Editing
the point value to 2 points works OK. I logged the QSO's as W3ZGD/RTTY  (as
an example.)
