More good tips, thanks. I’m inching my way closer to victory today. I hadn’t seen the step about the VB OCX, so I’ve done that now and things seem more stable.
Also, I noticed the UI in VarAC was fine until after I configured it to talk with my rig (Icom 7100). After a reboot, I then got the deadlock I posted here before.
I decided to try flrig for rig control. I have flrig running natively on the Pi5.
No more black screens and lockups.
In VarAC, I am receiving fine and correctly processed a few beacons from other stations.
However, when I try to beacon, VarAC crashes on PTT and leaves the rig on TX.
I’ll keep fiddling with it, but I’m thinking it’s either something with the audio devices in VARA HF or the rig control in flrig.
Closer, but not quite there yet.
Cheers,
Ken van Wyk

There was a new beta released 8.6 which I loaded successfully on a pi5 latest yesterday after the wine environment is setup with all the VB OCX
just install varAC with the installer. I just loaded a new pi5 over the weekend and wine9 box 32/64 and the program ran successfully, I saw more stability possibly the font issue is now handled for example ..
