Re: Vara FM and Alinco DR-B185


 

To me, one would need to have RJ45 and a speaker plug running from the Digirig. I would have squelch off and the audio up per the Vara TNC.

I see a data port but from the manual, it's for Cloning.

Try monitoring your transmission using a second radio.? You should hear a steady digital buzz. Then listen on the channel to see if the gateway is responding.? As others have stated, level setting is critical and only use vara narrow mode. ?

Try opening the VARA FM modem software first before starting Winlink Express.? The observe the IQ display to see if you get a good response.? Be sure AVC is not checked in Windows audio setting for the USB signal link.

I am unable to get vara fm to work using an Alinco DR-B185 and a Signalink. The system works fine sending and receiving winlink packet. I think I have tried every setting available. Computer is a Dell Latitude 6410.

Any ideas......
