Re: Digirig /vara fm
Thanks for your email. My end plan is to be able to do VARA FM mobile with a hand held radio and if I have to, use a portable antenna. Can you recommend a hand held that will work with a digirg VARA?

Re: Digirig /vara fm
Hi Paul, I found that although I could connect to one or two gateways with the Baofeng, I could connect to several more with a 50W mobile radio. Some of the gateways were particularly challenging to

Re: Vara HF security encryption
Wes, normally any use of HF using VaraHF or any other scheme (pactor etc) would be done via licenses issued by FEMA as a licensee of the SHARES network. I suggest you ask your state Emergency

Re: VARA HF v4.7.7 has AES 256 encryption option for NON HAM users ONLY
