I suspect the problem then becomes, "How do you know if the radio is set to RTTY?" If using FSK, it will probably be a "RTTY" mode, but folks can use AFSK with USB or LSB (or USB-D/LSB-D on radios so equipped). Perhaps handle the explicit RTTY mode, and let the AFSK-ers fend for themselves? (Spoken like a true FSK RTTY guy!)


I think we should see what others weigh in with on this. It is not hard to change but it cannot be ambiguous. For example we could also choose anything with SB or AM or FM in it versus everything else.

We make the decision based on what the mode displayed in the Contest or DX Panel is - which does have mode mapping applied first.
