Re: Radio being switched to Packet Mode

 

I don't have a Yaesu radio, but my guess is in the VARA HF Winlink settings you have the USB Digital mode selected.
Try un-setting it and try it again.
I had to fiddle with this for quite a while before I could get my IC-7600 to recognize the USB sound interface because USB Digital was set to USB-D1 getting the sound in from the MIC and not USB (internal Sound Card)
Funny thing is, my FT-817 has to be in "DIG" mode manually if I'm using an external interface like Signaling.

Re: Vara HF security encryption

 

Contact a business band provider. They can tailor your license for encryption to address your particular application. My business band license allows me to encrypt as I see fit for my business needs (primarily HIPAA compliance). If you are still unclear about obtaining a tailored license from a business band provider then I recommend you stay away from business band licensing.

Still unclear is how anyone will be able to use VaraHF on PLMR stations, as it seems Part 90 does not allow that mode.?

i check winlink email on 2m with a FT-857D and FT-818.

using VARA FM
packet mode
Signalink USB

the RMS is about (15) miles away and the exchange goes very fast - maybe about a minute to send one or two emails.

on HF it takes something like 5-10 minutes for similar exchange with an RMS in neighboring state or a bit farther, but that might be the limitations of my antenna in play . . .?

Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

My error where I say "...from within VARA"! As pointed out, the settings menu is within Winlink Express! Very sorry about that!73, -Lee-

Note that you can have multiple lines with small groups of frequencies enabled if that would be helpful.

I followed Lee's info and found the setting, see attached. Looks like it would do what you originally asked for.

Radio being switched to Packet Mode

 

Hello to all,

Yesterday I upgraded to VarAC 8.0.6. Every time I change frequencies using the drop down menu, it changes my rig (Yaesu FTDX-5000D) into Packet mode. I have to hit the USB switch you get it out of packet mode. This also
occurs when it switches to the slot frequency and returns back to the calling frequency.

This hasn’t with the previous versions. Very strange
Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

Thank you all. ?I found the settings. ?Although not in Vara HF, you have to open a Vara HF session to the the options under Settings.

Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

Hi folks,
You can not find it in VARA-HF settings.
VARA-HF is just a great modem program.
The setting is done in Winlink Express.
Good luck and have a nice day.

Re: New V8.0.6

 

You are of course referring to VARAC v8.06, not VARA-HF.


Best regards,

Re: Call Sign change for VARA program

 

I'm having the same problem.? What was your remedy?
Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

I am not seeing this. * Which "settings' button??

1. I do not find it under the main screen "Settings."?

2. If I chose VARA HF and open a session:

I see how to add or subtract from "Favorites."?
Is this what you mean?

Under the session "Settings" there is "auto-connect setup ...

It does have maximum Pactor level (interest...).

So far I have not gotten the "Allowed Frequency Ranges" and "Exclude RMS" to alter the appearance of the long frequency list seen under "Channel Selection."?

I am asking under the principal that If I am not seeing it, others may be having trouble as well.

I have found lately ( sometimes) people jump in before reading the entire question and then give a non-applicable answer.

Hopefully I did not make this same error.?

Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

Daniel,
?
No need to edit Channel List ......You can customize frequency ranges and exclude callsigns from within VARA!? On the SETTINGS screen open "Automatic Connection Settings" and you will find input area for "Allowed Frequency Ranges" and "Exvluded RMS".

Is it possible to manually edit the HF channel list? ?In particular, I would like to remove HF channels I will never use (e.g. 80m band). ?This will make the auto-channel select feature more useful in my case.

I would expect that. The amateur RMS is restricted to P3.?

Where are those "amateur RMSs" located? If they're in the US, perhaps the controlling software on the RMS side is setting their modem to max out at P3.
