Re: NEW TO VARA HF NEED HELP ;
The vara window monitor is used to see if a string signal can be decided, but otherwise keep it off and select a station from your winlink pulldowns to add to your "favorite" station connections. As

Re: Issue with aLC on vara hf
Going to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC version may solve some the of these sound setting issues.? Don't know, but that version description suggests more stability, and fewer operator restrictions.?

Re: Issue with aLC on vara hf
I had the same issue with Vara HF on my Icom 7300. I had to use the mic gain control on my radio to change the ALC. Maybe not the way it is supposed to work, but it did for me. Just a thought. 73,

Re: Issue with aLC on vara hf
On your sound settings in windows check and make sure your speakers and mike are set for 0.0db and that you do not have any enhancements set. Also make sure that your AGC is not ticked also. 73, Jim,

Re: Issue with aLC on vara hf
I agree with Dave. My ft991a yaesu has never run digital (varaHF, FT8 etc) well at low alc. My sweet spot for stable PO has always been around 7 adjusted with digital gain! Using that for years.

Re: Issue with aLC on vara hf
The recommended ALC level for digital modes will vary by radio manufacturer and possibly by model. The manual that comes with the radio should be your 'bible' for setting ALC levels for digital modes

Re: Issue with aLC on vara hf
For what its worth... I don't know why Jose recommends 1/3 ALC when using VARA HF. I have mine set to 0 ALC while still driving enough audio to achieve the 30 watts the radio is set to, and it works
