A confirmed defect in JTAlert v2.50.1 causes random FT8 QSO's to be logged as FT8 (FT4) in HRD Logbook.
When uploaded to eQSL, these are accepted as a match against corresponding eQSLs with mode FT8.
This is curious, since ADIF doesn't, and shouldn't, recognize FT4 as a sub-mode of FT8. Tonight I found three of these entries in my eQSL Outbox. When I clicked on Edit, I found the mode was set as AM. I could use the drop-down menu to change the mode to FT8, but when I clicked on SAVE, the mode reverted back to AM. When "Displayed as a Card" the mode was still indicated as FT8 (FT4). I found that the only way to correct these eQSL's was to delete them from my Outbox and re-upload the corrected entries from my HRD Logbook. Laurie has released JTAlert v2.50.1(beta) specifically for those having this particular weird problem and will include the fix in the next general release of his indispensable addition to WSJT-X.
