I didn't mean for my original post to kick up any dust. In hindsight, it
was a classic "Who Moved My Cheese?" moment. Train a mouse to move through
a maze to find cheese, then move the position of the cheese, and the mouse
will become disoriented and panic at first. In my case, I should have
played with the new system for a while before posting. Many thanks to
those who passed on information about navigating the ADIF file generator
now. Using TAB rather than ENTER, as I did previously, gets me down from
one entry line to another (ENTER no longer does, at least on my PC). Also,
the elimination of "Phone," replaced by a number of voice modes, really
does make a lot of sense. I miss what are probably the most common linear
satellite modes, CW and now SSB, being at the top of the Mode list, but as
someone pointed out, they are findable fairly quickly by typing in "C" or
"S" first. I have no trouble using LOTW at this point (I really need to
get a logging program, though!), and my CW and SSB contacts are matching on
LOTW just as they should be. I appreciate the coders' ongoing efforts to
tweak LOTW and made it better over time. In the future, I just need to
remember not to panic when the cheese gets moved once again.
