Vara FM thru mic connector.
I have a couple older 2M mobiles, neither of which have CTCSS encoders. I am wondering if they might work with Vara FM in 1200 mode with the soundcard attached thru the mic and speaker connections.

Re: VARA FM Won't PTT
Ticking the "RA Board" button did the trick. Thank you!

Re: VARA FM Won't PTT
John, I don't have a 71 on digital but do have several 710's and they work great. I have one on a 30 and another on a 45. Assume you are trying 9600..wideband? Tell the 71 to use 9600? In Vara

VARA FM Won't PTT
I am using a DRA-30 on 1200 baud packet with no problem. Works great! However, when I try VARA FM (in Winlink) it never triggers the transmit of my V71. What am I doing wrong?

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
yes, that all seems to be the consensus. I am good at 1200 baud and wide making vary fast connections and transfers, I just cant get ext data menu 919 , 9600 to work. I think? I have sound level

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
John, I don't think there is a "EXT BAUD RATE" setting. Which menu item are you referring to? If you are referring to menu 919, "EXT DATA SPEED", this setting is what determines which connections on

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
Scott, Thanks that seems to be the case. It is very fast for us here, with FM wide on the DRA-30 board as is. I had just wondered about the "EXT BAUD RATE " settings. Still a mystery? if that

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
Vara FM negotiates the connection speed. If a Narrow station connects to a Wide station (or vice versa), the Wide station will switch to Narrow, and the session will continue as Narrow. -Scott,

Mike, Thanks this is all good info. Very helpful for our guys. I'll run a big file later, and more details on our set up. I am deep in some SQL updates this morning. thanks! john

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
John; I misinterpreted the connection log you sent. The numbers are very misleading because the messages are very short. A realistic measure of throughput is to send a reasonably large data file

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
John; Those numbers are indicative of a good VARA FM NARROW link... Below is my session log from a local VARA FM gateway, operating at 1200bps, using my Kenwood TM-V71 with a DRA-45 board. My VARA FM

TM-D710G 'data' port (mini-DIN 6) 1200bps - 9600bps details... I've taken a careful look through the various manuals for the Kenwood DM-710 series radios, particularly the TM-D710G / GA Service

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
We have: typical here 256,000 b/min , this is 31 second session john

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
John; Do you know if other ops have been able to connect and exchange data with that gateway, with "full-speed" VARA FM WIDE throughput (better than 50KB per minute)? Mark - AD7EF

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
Ralph, Its our gateway, its set at 9600. I think our sound level is wrong. will get back to radio tonight thanks let u know john

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
What is the speed of the gateway you're trying to connect to? Is it correct to assume that if it's a 1200 baud gateway, that will limit your connection speed to 1200 regardless of the radio

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
John; ooops... you're right. That's a difference between the TM-D710G and the TM-V71 I have. I gather you've already tried using menu 518 "EXT. DATA SPEED". When you change that setting from 1200 to

Re: VARA FM Kenwood D710g Ext 9600 not working
The transmit audio level to the D710 needs to be significantly higher if you use the 9600 pin for input. ================ Bob Sampson k6mby@... 360-477-0776 (cell) Sequim, WA
