Paul; Have you entered your call sign in the "Winlink Express Setup..." window? A Winlink RMS Gateway station won't respond to a connection request if you haven't set up your call sign in Winlink Express. Are you selecting the Winlink RMS Gateway station you're trying to connect to from the 'Channel Selection" menu on the Winlink "Vara FM Winlink Session" window? Using VARA FM, you can do some diagnostics with either the 'Ping' tool that's available?on the menu bar on the VARA FM modem screen, or with the "Auto Tune" tool that's displayed?when you select "Settings -> SoundCard..." on the VARA FM menu bar, and then click the red "Auto-Tune" button on the right side of the "SoundCard" window. On either the "Ping" or "Auto-Tune" tool, you must enter the call sign of the station you're connecting to (shown on the "Connection" field on the??"Vara FM Winlink Session" window) into the corresponding "Ping to:" or "Calibrate with:" field, and then click the button with the power-plug icon.? When you run the "Auto-Tune" tool, VARA FM will transmit a sequence of 10 short bursts of digital data, at an increasing audio level for each step. If your transmit audio level is set properly, you'll hear all 10 bursts, at steadily increasing loudness, on your monitoring receiver. When your transmit audio level is set properly, a nearby VARA FM RMS Gateway should send a short digital data?burst, in response to either a "Ping" or an "Auto-Tune", that you'll hear in your receiver. If you're not hearing the response burst from the Winlink RMS Gateway station, it may be that the station can't "hear" your signal, or the Gateway station is "down" for some reason, or you don't have the call-sign of the Gateway station entered properly in the corresponding "Ping to:" or "Calibrate with:" field.
