Because new modes may not yet be specified in ADIF, and because LoTW may not accept all modes specified in ADIF, TQSL enables you to "map" a new mode to a mode or mode group
recognized by LoTW. This most often takes the form of mapping a new digital mode CoolNewDigitalMode
to the DATA
mode group. Note that TQSL will
refuse to map a mode that is accepted by LoTW.
1. | Select the File menu's Display or Modify Preferences... command (on OS X, select the Application menu's Preferences command) to display TQSL's Preferences dialog. |
2. | In the Preferences dialog, select the ADIF Modes tab; TQSL will display any mappings you've already defined. |

In the example shown above, when BPSK appears in the MODE field of an ADIF record during digital signing, the QSO will specify PSK31 in the digitally signed log file.
3. | Click the Add... button. |
4. | In the Add ADIF mode dialog, |
4.a | Type the mode to be mapped into the ADIF Mode box. | |
4.b | Select the mode to which the specified mode should be mapped in the Resulting TQSL mode list. | |

4.c | Click the OK button. | |

Now, when MCW appears in the MODE field of an ADIF record during digital signing, the QSO will specify CW in the digitally signed log file. Were MCW a mode accepted by LoTW, TQSL would refuse to add the mapping when the OK button was clicked. |
1. | Select the File menu's Display or Modify Preferences... command (on OS X, select the Application menu's Preferences command) to display TQSL's Preferences dialog. |
2. | In the Preferences dialog, select the ADIF Modes tab; TQSL will display the mappings you've already defined. |
3. | Click on the entry for the mapping you wish to delete, and then click the Delete button. |
