Can VARA FM 'narrow' Winlink clients connect to 'wide' P2P peers, or to VARA FM 'wide' gateways?


 

Our local ARES organization currently has a VHF Winlink gateway system set up for 1200 baud packet operation. I am investigating how we can have this gateway station also host VARA FM connections.?

I have a couple of questions:
?- Is it possible for a VHF or UHF gateway station to support combined packet and VARA FM operation on the same radio channel, with one radio?
?- Can a VHF or UHF gateway station set up for VARA FM 'wide' Winlink operation also accept connections from VARA FM 'narrow' clients?

Separately, if I properly configure my station for P2P operation with VARA FM 'wide' capability, will it respond to connection requests from VARA FM 'narrow' peers?

Thank you for any help you can provide.
