Re: 2 Radios for Vara FM wide available on Ebay.
I just tested a Yaesu FT-2980 & Signalink USB, and I got 16,932bps send on a test message and 14,144bps receive. Its not VARA Wide's higher speeds but its still decent for a cheap 2 meter radio. 73

Re: 2 Radios for Vara FM wide available on Ebay.
Good hint but I do challenge the statement it being hard to find radios suitable for wide VARA-FM. Look at Moto CDM750/1250/1550 or many other similar commercial radios, they provide wideband and flat

2 Radios for Vara FM wide available on Ebay.
It hard to find VHF radios that have the ability to run VARA FM WIDE. Right now there are two ALINCO dr-150T radios on Ebay. This radio was released prior to 2000, and as packet was still common, it

How can I access version 4.3.6 of VARA HF? Also, I am curious about the experiences of those who have tried the encryption in VARA HF. One thing I noticed is that a user with encryption can

Re: More APRS-over-VARA Testing on Cross-Country Road Trip Next Week
At the moment, I only have mono-band hamstick-type antennas for 60 and 30 meters for the dedicated APRS-HF (AX.25 & VARA) radio in the mobile. I am considering investing in a pair of 40M hamsticks.

Re: More APRS-over-VARA Testing on Cross-Country Road Trip Next Week
I wish we could get you to join us on 40m. We've been doing it since November. We've tested every which way and it's amazing stuff. I'd say all your previous tests pretty well shows what works.

Chris et.al. Congratulations on a job well done! The observation that the VHF path deteriorated as the sun came up is normal VHF line of sight propagation. This effect is also seen on VHF repeaters

Jeff; There currently isn't any "all ?band" (HF + VHF/UHF FM) transceiver that will support full-throughput 'WIDE' mode VARA FM (or 9600bps PACKET), on 2M or 70cm, using the internal USB sound-card
