Steve,
Well, that's certainly interesting! I will try to set it up again tonight
and make a few "dummy" entries into the log and see how it dupes. If it
accepts the same call on the same band but with a different mode and doesn't
flag it as a dupe then it must be the DXpedition module even though it says
DXCC tracking module. Thanks for the tip.

I always pick DXpedition mode and down at the bottom is always shows
General DX Tracking.

Ok, now I need a little help/advice. Taking Jim's suggestion to heart
I've been trying to setup a new file for the upcoming W1AW/KL7 portable
operation using the DXpedition module. My problem is every time I start a
new log and save it when I restart the log it comes up in the DXCC
tracking module rather than the DXpedition module. I've never seen this
behavior before.
As the young Air Force pilot appearing before an investigation board
following the crash of his aircraft stated, "Sir I ran out of airspeed,
altitude and ideas all at the same time." Ditto here. Any suggestions?

Jim ADIC just asked essentially the same question recently. The answer
is
don't use the DXpedition module, but instead use the General DXCC
tracking
log module.
I guess it depends on what you want to do.
If you are logging multiple modes on the same band using the same log
file, you *want* DXpedition mode, not DXCC mode. The reason being
that DXCC mode dupes the stations once per band, whereas DXpedition
mode dupes the stations once per band+mode. What happened to me this
morning is that all the guys who previously worked me on 30 RTTY were
showing up as dupes on 30 CW. The other way around is worse, because
you can't use the INSERT key in RTTY on a "duplicate" call to capture
it into the QSO window.
You can still add the STATE field to the DXpedition module if you are
inclined to logging the information that is sent to you.
DXCC mode gives you multiplier stats for each band, regardless of
mode. DXpedition mode gives you multiplier stats regardless of band
or mode, i.e. the first VK you work on any band counts as a multiplier
for THAT band. Since this isn't a contest, the reporting of
multipliers is far less important than having dupes identified
correctly.
