But, In order for my log to reflect the correct mode, I have to go back and manually change it after the fact (to PSK, RTTY, etc.)  With version 4, I could set the mode using the drop down arrow to PSK, and it would stay there as long as the radio did not change modes.  I could go on making more QSO's and the mode would stay put as I logged each one.  In the new version 5, only the bold type modes within the drop down box will stay put (bold type=actual modes in radio).  ( If I select PSK, it will immediately bounce back to USB).  I'm no sure what the point of having all those modes listed if they won't "stick"?

"Mode Mapping 

The mode popup in the VFO Panel reflects what mode the radio is actually set to.You can change the mode mapping of USB to PSK (or anything else) with theModes mapping pref and when you select USB from the mode popup it will display and log as PSK. If you decide to work USB, then you just change the mode mapping from PSK back to USB with the mode mapping pref and when you select USB from the mode popup it will display and log as USB.If you want to assign specific modes to specific bands or sub-bands then edit the sample band plan delivered with MacLoggerDX and add the actual radio modes desired for each sub-band and select it in the Station Prefs.

Editing the Mode text in the DX Panel will automatically adjust the mapping so that your change will "stick" until you edit it again or change the Mode Mapping in the Prefs."
