Hi,I wish to be able to correctly tune fldigi given a record in an ADIF file. When saving a record in the adif log file, fldigi creates a mode tag which is not a one-to-one map to ADIF specification. Example: const struct mode_info_t { trx_mode mode; ... const char *adif_name; ... };mode_info[NUM_MODES] = { ... { MODE_DOMINOEX4, ... "DOMINO", }, { MODE_DOMINOEX5, ... "DOMINO", }, { MODE_DOMINOEX8, ... "DOMINO", }, ... So, if the ADFI file has the tag "<MODE:6>DOMINO", it is not possible to restore the original fldigi modem. Even if there is a one-to-one match, such as RTTY <=> RTTY, we loose many parameters, on the contrary of what is done with macros parameters: <MODEM:RTTY:850:75:5> So, it is not possible to restore the conditions of a QSO because we lose some information in the process of saving a record to an adif file: - The rig mode: USB, AM etc... (Although it could by heuristically restored) - The modem parameters. On the other hand, adif gives the possibility to add user-defined files (http://www.adif.org/adif224.htm ). So why not using them to save more information, such as these exemples: <MODE:4>RTTY<USERDEF1:13>RTTY;850;75;5<USERDEF2:3>USB<EOR> <MODE:3>FAX<USERDEF1:11>WEFAXIOC576<USERDEF2:3>USB<EOR> This would be completely compatible with existing adif files and applications, but would allow to retune to a former qso What do you think ?

I'm thinking it would create too much information for a Cabrillo file or a Lotw upload.
