Just a note that VARA 4.8.3 works on a fully updated pi5 64bit, wine 9, box build Jan 27 6:22
I’m seeing the same here. I connected my Pi 5 to my Icom 7100 today for some live fire trials, after passing the dummy load tests yesterday.
All good so far. I was able to do VARA HF and VARA HF P2P successfully. Haven’t yet tried FM, but HF is rocking, for sure.
I still want to do more testing, but with luck, in the next couple of weeks, my Winlink Wednesday alternative NCS will be running on a Pi 5. Heck, I might well even retire that old Windows 10 PC (ptui!) and banish all things Microsoft from my network for good.
Still have a few things to setup, but the first tests have been solid. A few quirky user interface issues, but I can handle quirky.
