Our new local VARA node is up?and running.? My Alinco DR-135T and Repeater Builder 9600 interface module work great.? WIDE mode and AUTO TUNE works.

Lloyd,
I just received my Alinco DR-135T from Antenna Farm.? Programmed it immediately?using RT Systems software and info from my ICOM IC-2200H. This is an obsolete?radio and they are the only source I found who still had stock.? I also got the modem module from Repeater Builder, specifically?made for this radio and 9600baud VARA FM. The module plugs into the DB9 on the radio and has a USB interface to the PC.? I haven't?been?able to try it on the air for VARA FM yet as the local node is still awaiting?a frequency assignment from the coordonator. This eario also has airband AM receive like the 2200H.? The newer 2300H and latest ICOM omit airband.?
Peter, you are great, such a smaller compact unit. I will get one and try.? it was also recommended by another ham usung them for his winlink and packet stack.
