I had my radio on all night on the new freq and am not getting any decodes. I hear a few beacons but nothing decodes. I have Soundmodem set for 300 band.

The whole point is that APRS-over-VARA? DOES NOT use classic AX.25 packet as it's transmission mode.? Thus the Soundmodem, which only decodes AX.25 packets, is useless for receiving APRS-over-VARA.??

You need to use the VARA soundcard soft-modem instead, linked to an APRS application like PinPoint, YAAC, APRSis323, UIview, etc.? Details here:

Note that unlike the Soundmodem, the VARA modem does not have an internal display of the decoded raw packets. You need to have an external APRS application linked to it to see what is going on.


P.S. ? your attached screen shots, apparently captured with a cell phone, are far far too large -- 4000x3000 pixels (probably the native resolution of? the phone's cam).? You need to downsize these radically before emailing them.??

All cell phone mail apps have provisions for downsizing photos before sending them - reduce them to something like 1388x720 or 800x600 before mailing.
