Tnx
POB/K8LEN

Ok, I've?installed vara on my laptop running windows 7 the software loads perfect in RMS Express I have not hooked it to a radio so I'm?thinking it will run so planning on testing it.?There was a member of the group that offered to login to my computer by TeamViewer?I would like to get the person to do this but have not heard anything from him I've?lost the email so if you are reading this please contact me off the group to set up a time im?off this whole weekend would like to fix the issue on my windows 10 desktop. I think this software is quite buggy and at most unreliable in an emergency?but still would like to get it working.

Thanks. Yes, that's my situation here. I won't call it a birdie, but
it's a whistling, hissing, looks like a ghost on the big waterfall kind
of signal that drifts all over the place. It's here today and could be
gone tomorrow. Annoying.

Where did you get this info?

We have software to help us detect potential threats and vara gets

snagged by the software. Apparently, there is a problem.

I'll send the dude an email and ask him what the deal is.
