ADIF import sat_mode, prop_mode

[DG7RO]

Hi,

I have this line of adif file:
<QSO_DATE:8>20230619<TIME_ON:6>060500<TIME_OFF:6>060500<CALL:5>UW8SM<RST_SENT:3>599<RST_RCVD:3>599<GRIDSQUARE:4>KN28<FREQ:7>435.310<FREQ_RX:7>435.310<MODE:3>PKT<PROP_MODE:3>SAT<SAT_NAME:6>IO-117<BAND:4>70CM<BAND_RX:4>70CM<SAT_MODE:3>U/U<STATION_CALLSIGN:5>DG7RO<MY_GRIDSQUARE:6>JN58rg<EOR>

When I import this to swisslog doing import, fast clicking through all the setting with defaults (no special field assigments) swisslog does this sat_mode has "U/U" and prop_mode .. aehm nothing as it is not there!

I defiined in a view: SAT_NAME as qso.SAT_NAME, SAT_MODE as qso.SAT_MODE.
I use the sat_mode field every time I work through SATs with the string "SAT". A "prop_mode" is not available.
SAT_mode is fully accepted wby LOTW....

So what to do?

Hi Torsten,

The SAT MODE is not used in Swisslog and it's not mandatory to exchange QSO made in satellite. The only mandatory fields are  SAT NAME and PROP MODE which must be SAT. If PROP MODE is missing you will have issues in online services. So you ADIF record must include the PROP MODE field as SAT 

Current version 5.106 has a bug and wrongly import the SAT MODE field into the PROP MODE when should be skipped. This is fixed in latest beta. Read the beta thread.

Hi Jordi,
eprop and sat mode is exportet correctly. But as you mentioned I run into the bug if propmode and satmode are set in the import file.. will try to use beta version.
