Perhaps this has been mentioned before so my apologies if it has been addressed. I searched back through the forum and did not find any recent mention of it. I've been using CQRLOG for over a year but I'm new to the forum.
When exporting an ADIF file, the band information is given as 10M, 20M, etc. The standard international abbreviation for the meter is a lower case m (and cm for the centimeter). Also, the ADIF specification for band enumeration shows the unit abbreviations in lower case. For most things, this probably is not an issue. However, I recently was doing some analysis of my logs and I have ADIF data from multiple sources. When categorizing by band, 10M and 10m organize into different buckets unless one has the ability to ignore case, which isn't always easy to do. Is there any chance of getting these abbreviations changed to match the standard? On a related note, the abbreviations are also in uppercase on the screen to edit frequencies in the Bands preferences.
Thanks.
Thanks for reporting.
Cqrlog uses internally caps, but it should be easy to accept both on input and use low case on output to follow specifications

HI !
Now I got time to test this. No problem. Made one fake qso and exported it:
ADIF export from CQRLOG for Linux version 2.6.0 (001) Gtk2

That shows that band is exported as should with lowercae "m"
Then deleted fake qso from log and duplicated adif record using call OH1QWER and mode 2M (with upper case)
<QSO_DATE:8>20220926<TIME_ON:4>1618<TIME_OFF:4>1618<STATION_CALLSIGN:5>OH1KH<CALL:7>OH1QWER<MODE:2>CW<FREQ:3>145<BAND:2>2M<RST_SENT:3>599<RST_RCVD:3>599<STX:3>005<SRX:3>002<QSL_SENT:1>N<QSL_RCVD:1>N<MY_GRIDSQUARE:6>KP01tn

<EOR>
Saved adif and imported it to Cqrlog.
Both qsos are ok.
Cqrlog can import upper or lower case (but uses upper case internally) and exports with lower case.
I had feeling I did done this a while ago.
NOTE: You need at least Cqrlog 2.6.0 (001) (only from GitHub source)

Thanks for the follow-up. I'm using 2.5.2 so I'll look at 2.6.
