Amongst the different radio manufacturers there is little agreement 
beyond AM FM USB LSB and CW on mode names so that MacLoggerDX has to 
find a list of mode names that can be used for all the rigs supported.

The FT-817 manual lists RTTY as the example mode used in "digital" 
which is actually SSB based AFSK.

Currently MacLoggerDX interprets mode report 0ah (digital) as RTTY but 
incorrectly resets that to 0x02 (CW) on the radio.

This has been fixed in this beta:

I have removed the "FSK" option from the mode popup since it had the 
same usage as "RTTY"
