Petrov, I use the following VARA HF settings in Winlink:
For when the picture gets deleted:
Radio Model - Kenwood Amateur, USB mode (not USB Digital), Use Internal Soundcard
Select appropriate COM port; baud rate doesn't matter, do not enable RTS/DTR
PTT Port: Kenwood TS-590S? (I think others would work too)
?
And in the VARA soundcard settings:
- Choose the Device Input and Device Output entries with QMX in their name
- I choose L+R output (though I don't think this matters)
Tune Drive level: set to maximum (0dB).
?
Also, in Windows sound devices, set the QMX 'playback' and 'recording' device levels to 100%.
You can get to this setting easily by typing mmsys.cpl in the windows search box (this brings up the flow-level windows sound control panel).
?
I also found that in Windows, the audio output level created by Winlink's VARA-HF modem does not seem to be full scale, so the output power is somewhat lower.?? It would be nice if Hans could add a level adjustment to the USB sound interface, so we could compensate.
