Another advancement:

In VARA HF WinLink Settings I changed the “PTT Serial Port To Use” from CI-V to ICOM7300

Next, I need to figure out how to get the message in my outbox to its destination. Wonder why it doesn’t call for the internal sound card?

Totally new at this, so seeing just about everything for the first time.

Tnx!

Found a video on setting up the IC-7300 and VARA/Winlink. FINALLY got things running, with one glitch.

When I run the Test in Vara Setup I still get the red box.

Other than that, the laptop is communicating with the rig so if I change frequency in Winlink Express the freq. follows on the rig.?

Back to the drawing board tomorrow.

Getting there….getting there.

Winlink Express is free (recommended).

Before I go any further, do I need to purchase Winlink or Winlink Express??

You would need to make sure the TCP or Virtual Command Port is the same for VARA HF and in the Winlink Express VARA TNC setup. Mine is 8300 but 8310 should work as well.
