Question please about RTTY records in ADIF files. Is there a way to save the
shift and the number of bits? When creating a macro, one can specify the mode
this way:
<MODEM:RTTY:850:75:5>
Unfortunately, this extra information is apparently not saved in the log. Any
idea plase ?
Another question: When viewing an adif record, it would be fine to set the mode
and the frequency by adding an extra button. Any interest in this?
Why would you want to save that information in ADIF format? I don't think
they are covered in the current ADIF specifications.
This is my problem: I am looking for a standard for saving frequencies,
a kind of frequency database, if you like, but so,ething readable by
everything. Adif seems to be the only possibility although, I agree, it
is not exactly made for that.
But on the other hand, it would give a convenient possibility to create
on-the-fly a freq database:
- Suppose, you find an interesting frequency, no matter what it is.
- Then you save it in the right ADIF file, by clicking the existing
"Save" button.
- Then later, when you want to tune to it, you just need to open the
ADIF file and click on the record: This simple feature is missing yet.
Of course, this would work with any kind of ADIF file, maybe generated
with a frequency database - why not plain AM and FM stations.
The extra small features I need (and I can add in a coulpe of
development hours) are:
- Save some extra bits of information in the ADIF: Mode (USB,FM,AM etc...)
- All the parameters for the modem (RTTY for example).
- And click on the record to tune the rig accordingly.
Indeed, the fact that ADIF files are not exactly made for that is
completely agreed, but:
- They do 95% of the job.
- They are usable by many softwares.
- They are already implemented in fldigi.

I can see where you may want to save a macro setup so you could quickly get back
to that setting but do not understand why you would want to log the extra data.
The reason for saving modes is really for QSL's, DXCC and LoTW and all they
really only recognize is CW, Phone (or SSB), RTTY and DATA. The tqs.app
program changes most of the digital modes saved in ADIF format to DATA. A
RTTY QSO is a RTTY QSO no mater what baud rate, shift or bits.
Maybe I am missing something?
