I am having problems with connecting consistently to Winlink Gateways and digipeaters using VARA FM and the IC-705. In times that I am able to connect, the session will time-out 75% of the time. Auto-tuning with these stations return all-green results.

I checked with the sysop of a gateway less than 100 meters from my QTH, and he told me that whenever I tried to connect his gateway, VARA reports "weak signal detected". The SWR reading on the 705 is 1:1, and 10 watts is surely enough for me to connect to his gateway given the short distance between us. It is probably the same issue with other gateways/digipeaters I tried to connect to.??

My setup:
Laptop with Windows 10 OS
IC-705 connected to an omni antenna 40 feet up
Icom Remote Utility for connecting the laptop and the 705 via local network
Latest VARA FM version (registered)

Please let me know where I should look into to correct the issue. Thank you.
