Two things about the mode on the logging surface.
It was held in `remember` with no key, so switching transponder mid-session kept the mode
from the transponder before it. The operator saw the old value in the field and it went out
with the upload - a wrong mode nobody chose. It is now keyed on the transponder uuid.
It was also a text field the operator had to look at on every contact, when the value comes
from the transponder record anyway. A pass lasts eight minutes; the study on satellite
logging is blunt that the fast surface should carry one typed field, not two. The mode is
now shown as a row and the field appears when the row is tapped, because a transponder
record can be wrong and the operator still has to be able to say so.
The row is 48dp tall, which is the Material Design minimum for anything tappable. Vertical
padding alone had left it around 20dp - visually fine, awkward to hit, and a real problem
for anyone with reduced dexterity.
