OK, the updated DefaultModes.txt did the job. Thanks!

+ AA6YQ comments below
Thanks, Joe. I am confused about how DXK deals with modes.
+ That's explained here:
FT4 and FT8 should be on the mode list for a contact, but they are not. If I import contacts (which I do) FT8 appears in the mode field, but it does not appear in the pulldown list.
I have a situation where I worked CE0Y on FT4. That should be equivalent to FT8 but It isn't.
I don't know how to fix this.
+ What version of DXKeeper are you running?
+ In DXKeeper's Databases folder, what is the creation date associated with the file DefaultModes.txt ?
+ When you examine DefaultModes.txt using Windows Notepad, are there entries for FT4 and FT8?
+ I'm assuming based on your original report that no Modes.txt file is present in DXKeeper's Databases folder. If it were present, its contents would take precedence over those of DefaultModes.txt .
