Dear Dave,

thanks for the comment. Now I will try to guess who is the author of this brilliant idea. Essentially, this is probably good for the many experimental modulation types that periodically appear and immediately die as unclaimed. But for the type of FT4, which is preparing to become a major in amateur radio communications, this is absolutely unacceptable. It will be correct to re-vote back while there is still time. This will be a wise decision.

73, Serge R6YY

The ADIF committee apparently thinks all software is easy to change and should 
do so to match their intentions.

+ An interchange specification is by definition dynamic. New digital modes are a common 
occurrence - a trend we should welcome and encourage. SUBMODE was added to the ADIF 
specification 6 years ago. If an application can't "keep up" with simple 
extensions like SUBMODE, either it's poorly structured, or its developer is incompetent.

We unsuccessfully fought this idea so you'll just have to live with what 
they've done.

+ The vote on 2019-05-21 to approve ADIF 3.1.0 -- which defines FT4 as 
<MODE:4>MFSK SUBMODE:3>FT4 -- was unanimous, as shown in this announcement:
