Thanks for this Stan. You saved me a ton of time when I tested WinLink. It worked first try!
Side effect of using VARA HF is that it leaves the QMX in SSB mode. When I go back into WSJT-X it doesn't switch to digital mode. This in spite of clicking Data/Pkt in the radio settings.
I've tried a few different Kenwood radio definitions and QCX/QDX in WSJT, but no joy.
I could just reach over and press the knob to change modes but I usually operate remotely.
I thought maybe I'd make use of the new ability to operate multiple COM ports and change the mode through the menu but can't seem to find a menu item to set the mode.?
My workarounds for now are to open Ham Radio Deluxe or one of the other rig control programs set to one of the Kenwood radio definitions and click the mode button to select FSK. Or use terminal access, go into CAT Test menu, and hope I can remember that the MD 6 command will set it back to DIGI.
Maybe this is a minor bug related the addition of SSB and LSB modes? I don't recall running into this when the only options were CW or DIGI.
Hans, any chance you could add a Mode Select menu option?
