Re: Even More Joining New APRS-over-VARA Channel

Hmmm. In USB-Data mode I can key the radio using DTR on COM3 but I see in Pinpoint: WA8LMF-6>APU25N:>150213zThis is the new APRS-over-VARA Channel beginning 1 Jan

I was seeing three lines of text at one time. I think was in USB-CW mode for that.
I just got this in USB-CW:

Wrong year I think.
Yes, I've had VARA in KISS mode throughout, though it complains it isn't seeing anything on port 8300 it's connected to pinpoint on the default of 8100.

1)?? Forget all the CAT nonsense and hassle -- set the radio on 10.148.200 USB or "DATA-U" if it has that
mode manually. ? ?
2)?? Set the passband or DSP bandwidth tuning of the radio to
allow the bandpass of around 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz.? (The VARA signal
is about 500 Hz wide, centered on 1500 Hz.)
Depending on the nature of the slope of your passband filter
edges, you may be able to screw down the bandwidth narrower. (Most
filters start having phase shifts and ringing at the passband
edges, limiting how narrow you can set the filters without
mangling the complex multi-tone VARA signal.)
3)??? Enable the KISS-over-IP function in VARA under "Settings",
"VARA Setup". Be sure to check the box "KISS interface".? This
becomes a TCP/IP server.?
4)??? Select KISS-over-IP as a TNC source in PinPoint. This
becomes a TCP/IP client connecting to VARA's server.? Note that
the IP PORT # in both programs must match.? (Normally this will be
the default VARA KISS-over-IP port number of 8100.)?? The IP
address of both programs will be "localhost" a.k.a.? "127.0.0.1"
meaning both the server and the client are on the same machine.?
