Re: Winlink with FT-818, Digirig, VaraHF

 

Thanks for the offer. I have both my Xiegu G90 and trusdx running on Winlink so it's not critical that I get this other radio operational next. My next project is getting my VHF/UHF doing Winlink.
Thanks again for the offer of assistance.

Rod,

I do not have this combo, but I would be willing to help one-on-one with you over a Zoom or Google Meet type call to help you get it going.

That is, of course, assuming you have not found an answer elsewhere that got you working.
