Hi Per,

Thanks. You will see the server call sign dependant choice of mode table has
been removed and therefore only table @Amodes gets loaded.

There may have been some logic in regards to moving away from the fixed
table concept we had before, but the call to getmodenum (if I remember the
subroutine name correctly) returns zero for PSK250 since it is not in the
list and therefore the new mode never gets sent to the modem (and the
warning has been commented out too).

Regards,

John
